“Humans are storytelling animals. We crave stories to make sense of the world. Stories give our lives meaning. They teach us empathy, compassion, and courage. They help us understand ourselves and others.”

- Lisa Cron, screenwriter and author

Here you are, pouring your heart into a story, a presentation, or even a talk because you want to be a Public speaker. To your surprise, your audience’s attention is drifting away before your words. There is nothing you can do about it. Again.

Three powerful techniques (Rule of Three, Destiny, and Morality) will elevate your storytelling game to another level and help you craft narratives that resonate with your audience for eternity in their memory.

Before I discuss those ingredients with you in-depth, I will share a short story to walk the talk.

Story time.

Somewhere in Dakar, Plateau district, Senegal.
