STORYTELLING FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING
Deliver Impactful Stories
to Captivate Your Audience
Public speaking venues are the most common application of leadership storytelling, especially at keynotes, panel discussions, and public ceremonies.
Keynote Presentations
Speakers often deliver leadership stories during formal presentations, connecting their message back to the theme of the conference or talk. It could also be used to emphasize certain points during the talk or at the end.
Panel Discussions
Panel discussions are effective ways to convey leadership stories since speakers provide their perspectives on a variety of topics. The particular delivery of the stories may change based on the setting, however, the speaker would have a valuable opportunity to persuade and better connect with the audience through a meaningful leadership story.
Public Gatherings
For example, guest speakers at graduation ceremonies scatter leadership stories throughout their talk as a way to inspire and motivate the audience. The best way for a speaker to connect and share wisdom with an audience full of strangers is for the speaker to share a life-changing story with the listeners. By opening up their heart and mind to the audience, they will do the same in return.
