I am a member of Toastmaster's and they encourage us all of them time to weave storytelling into our presentations. I am still perfecting it, but there is one member who has it down pat. He tells absolutely captivating stories that holds the audience's attention and spell-binds us for the duration of his 8-10 minute speech. In business, people buy your product or service when they can "connect" with you. Through the use of effective story-telling, they do feel connected and are willing to entertain your ideas, then (hopefully) buy what you have. I think I'll go work on my next speech and try to add in a killer story to wow my audience. Thanks Ed! Ed, this is a brilliant article on storytelling.
