How to tell a story


Stories capture our attentions and are more memorable than mere facts and figures. A well developed story will help you communicate more effectively. During their session "What is Your Story? Crystallizing a Leadership Experience" I learned from Lori Silverman, Karen Dietz and Mark Anderson, CAE about how to craft a meaningful and impactful story. Here are a few tips from their session:

Storytelling is not just art -- it's a science
Allow your audience to draw meaning from the story, however...
Always give the moral (a key point) at the end,
And give a call to action.
