1. Start your business story with a context. Ensure that it doesn't take too long. Craft your story with key characters o your project to generate curiosity. This could be your significant stakeholder's view on the points that you are about to discuss. Sometimes describing somebody without mentioning the name can bring in an element of suspense.
2. Start your day asking yourself what the day's story is. Put down in writing memorable events as they happen in your life. Begin with an end in your mind. Start with what you want your audience to learn or do at the end of your story and build on how that can be achieved. Ensure that your points are seen and heard.
3. Concept and connect should go in tandem. A story is said to be woven well only if there is a connect with the agenda.
4. Pause appropriately if you want your story to make an impact. You may pause after asking a probing question. The pace of your voice plays a key role in message delivery. Add life to your message through facial expressions, postures and gestures.
5. Let your story appeal to audiences' ears and eyes.
6. Modulate your voice naturally to catch attention, play engaging videos, and make the audience perform kinesthetic activities such as conducting a survey, raising their hand in agreement.
7. The opening and ending of a story should be different. Try starting a story from the middle.
8. Set the audience thinking about what would be coming next.
