The Power of Telling Your Personal Story

When crafting your signature talk, I encourage you to start off by sharing your personal story with the audience. Your personal story is what will have the audience instantly connect with you.

Here are (4) tips to help you craft your personal story:

1. Show Your Vulnerability: Be willing to open your heart to the audience and be authentic. This shows the audience you’re just like them. They will quickly connect to you as they will see themselves in you.
2. Share Your Journey: Let the audience know what it took for you to become the person you are today. Your journey will inspire them to follow their dream.
3. Tell Your Story Vividly: As you share your story, share it with enthusiasm and emotion. Be as specific as you can as you tell your story. Speak as if it’s happening as you speak.
4. Be Present: Look out at the people in the audience as you share your story. Be right there with them in the moment and not in your head.
