1. HOW TO USE STORYTELLING
EFFECTIVELY DURING
PRESENTATION

2. Your palms get sweaty, you feel your stomach turning, you can’t seem to stop
worrying about making a mistake, and as a result, you keep saying “Um.” No
matter how hard you try, you worry that you just aren’t all that interesting to your
audience. Like everybody else who speaks publically, your communication
apprehension can be overwhelming, especially as you start that speech.

3. You’re certainly not alone in your anxiety; even the most experienced public speakers feel the pangs of
nervousness. Nobody said learning how to give effective presentations is an easy process. But, if you
are worried that you are not engaging your audience enough to catch their attention and get them to
connect with your message, you can learn an effective skill to overcome this hurdle and with one simple
step, learn how to both entertain and impact your audience with your speech’s theme.

4. Many people think their nervousness is the thing
making the speech less attention-getting; however,
that is simply not the case. The problem is that there
isn’t anything engaging in the message’s content. Even
highly effective public speakers suffer from stage
fright—they just know how to use this trick effectively
to deliver an entertaining speech. So, what’s the
answer? Learning how to story tell.
IT’S YOUR
MESSAGE,
NOT YOUR
ANXIETY

5. TELL THEM
WHY
To make your story a great one, you need to have a good purpose
your audience can recognize. So, make sure you recognize the central
idea of your story yourself so that you deliver an effective purpose.
The entertainment value of the story is really in its purpose, and if you
don’t know what that is, you can’t make it clear to your audience.
Make sure you have the clarity nailed down, and your audience will be
hooked.

6. Although the concept might sound
simplistic, it’s something some people
overlook: make sure your story is a
story, not just an abstract comment
with no plot. The plot is what makes the
story flow, so you’ve got to have a
beginning, middle, and end. People
naturally come to expect that structure
in any story, and keeping to that
expectation helps with audience
connection and story effectiveness.
TELL THEM
WHAT

7. TELL THEM
HOW
Next, you have to cover how things happened—that means the story
must present action and move forward. The action present in the
story will make that “how” question relatively clear to your audience.
And most people love the action within stories, so this is a crucial
part of effective entertainment value.

8. To answer the “who” segment of your
story, you need to define your
characters and give them some
personality. Remember, instead of
simply telling your audience things
about your characters, actually show
them things about your characters’
personalities by describing the actions
of your characters. This one key rule—
to show, not tell, with characters, makes
your characters come alive, and makes
the action and entertainment value in
your “how” factor come to life with
examples of actual (even if fictional)
people.
TELL THEM
WHO

9. TELL THEM WHERE
The setting is important to any story. Your audience is going to want to know the details about where the
story is taking place, and it is at this point where you can add sensory detail and imagery, another very
good use of language that creates extra entertainment value for your speech.

10. NOW IT’S
TIME TO
PREPARE
THAT GREAT
STORY
So, now that you know both how to implement a well-rounded story into your speech,
and how to tell an entertaining story, you’ve got the key to adding a lot of spice and zest
to your presentation. Everybody loves a good story, after all, so why not use your speech
to tell one?
