Can personal stories make my speech more interesting and impressionable? And if so, how do I ensure I have great stories to tell?
Absolutely! Telling personal stories is one of the easiest and most effective ways of making your speech interesting and impressionable. It is foolproof. You can be the most boring speaker in the entire universe but when you tell a personal story, you will automatically be forgiven. Not only do your stories build rapport with your audience, they differentiate you from the rest of the speakers. In the eyes of your audience, you are unique!
However many speakers fail to take advantage of their wealth of stories that they have accumulated over the years. It is like a gold mine waiting to be tapped! And I urge you to START MINING FOR STORIES!!!
