Tell Your Story Vividly and Specifically

As you tell your story, speak in the present tense. Share your story as if it’s happening right now in the present moment. Convey excitement and enthusiasm using gestures, facial expressions, and inflection as you describe your story. What leaves the strongest impression on the audience is how you look and sound. People walk away from a presentation remembering what they’ve seen and heard. The words alone are quickly forgotten, so be sure to convey excitement and enthusiasm in your speaking.
