DURING PRESENTATION
FEELINGANXIOUS:YOU ARENOW ALONE
It’s Your Message, Not Your Anxiety
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.
We understand the struggle.

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.
TELL THEMWHY
MAKE SURE YOURSTORY IS A STORYThe plot is what makes the story flow
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.

segment of your story, you
need to define your

Add sensory detail and
imagery, another very good
use of language that creates
extra entertainment value
for your speech.
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?
