Use Stories to Enhance Your Speaking

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Using stories, especially your own can help your public speaking.

This picture from my mother-in-law reminded me of one of the many stories of my life.

Here is the Northern Minnisota definition of 'freezer.'

This reminded me of my youth and having to shovel three foot of snow to get to the outhouse at my Uncle Bud’s. He even had the phone that you had to wind up and ring the operator in order to call outside the area. It was not that long ago.

Apparently things like this still exist.

Incorporate stories from your childhood into your public speaking to make them come alive.

Speak well and prosper.

One of the most important things we can do to create an atmosphere for the audience is to tell a story. If it is your story, all the better.

If you can tie an illustration to the story or teach a lesson, more points.

Here is a recent story that happened to me. When you think of something being stolen, what comes to mind.

I thought adventure and opportunity.

This is a broad topic, covering website legalities, public speaking and telling stories. It is only three pages of about 350 words. The last is a very nice cease and desist letter. Now, where will this all go?

Any thoughts, please let me know. Help will be gladly welcome too.

Educate, Educate, Educate

People like to learn. One of the best ways to teach is stories. They have to be real life, true stories to work best in your public speaking. Even the simplest of them will work to educate your audience.

Include the moral or lesson to be learned.
