I have posted a couple of videos on story telling and have received some great feedback and a few suggestions. One of the suggestions was that I offer a category of stories. After giving it some thought I came up with a category I know we all have. I call it Defining Moments.
It refers to those moments that have contributed in a very positive way to our lives and who we have become. They are not the obvious ones of marriage and birth of a child. They are the ones that are unique to only ourselves. Mine are not the same as yours and yours are not the same as anyone else.
Because they are unique to us we are the only ones who can tell them. So think about the defining moments in your life. There may be some nuggets there that you can use in a future speech or presentation.
Remember, you still need to link them to your topic. Otherwise they won’t work well.
