Making the point

Fellow speaker,

To get the point across in your story consider:
  • Relevance – content should illustrate the point of the presentation make the connection between the story and your point very clear
  • Delivery – tell with enthusiasm, eye contact, and gestures – pick a story you enjoy
  • Length – under two minutes in length – give only the details necessary to create a picture for audience – avoid unnecessary details
  • Rehearse – practice over and over to see what can be eliminated or “tightened up”
Pointedly,

Tim
