World Champion speaker Mark Brown suggests you tell your stories in "3-D":
- Description - describe the background of the event using vivid adjectives, adverbs, etc.
- Direction - use physical gestures, props, etc. to make the story "come alive"
- Dialogue - create conflicting conversations with deep dialogue that goes back and forth between the story characters
