Value stories and storytelling

STORIES
All successful presenters and trainers tell stories because stories are ways of getting messages across that bypass the conscious mind, and therefore have more effect.
Telling appropriate stories will make your presentation or training more entertaining and more memorable.
‘Presenting Magically’ by Tad James and David Shephard.

Some thoughts on laughing
We don’t laugh because we’re happy – we’re happy because we laugh. William James
A day without laughter is a day wasted. Charlie Chaplin

without having to go outdoors.
