Everyone loves a good story – right? Our love started as children, and never went away, but have you ever considered how to effectively use stories in business?

Hopefully you got a chance to join our webinar this week: “Master the Art of Storytelling to Make Your Presentations Come Alive” with Lynne Waymon.

What a great concept- utilizing stories to bring out your best, teach a lesson and show the strength of your organization is a fantastically creative way to enhance the impact of your presentation. We all remember stories better than facts and figures. Just as visuals are to text, stories are to stats. They stick longer, make a lasting impression and entertain!

So, if you missed Lynne’s presentation, you can check out the on-demand version here, or just follow these simple rules for s-u-c-c-e-s-s in picking a good story:

• S – strategic (does it teach a lesson?)
• U – unique (will it stand out?)
• C- clear (will your audience understand the message?)
• C – concrete (is it believable?)
• E – exciting (will they be sitting on the edge of their seats, or snoring?)
• S – short (is it to the point?)
• S – service-oriented (does it make you and your organization shine?)

Let us know about your storytelling with SlideRocket, we would love to see your best presentations.
