"What's that line from the old movie? Something like, 'you had me at hello,'" a client said. "That's how I reacted to the speaker today. He started with a story, one about building a tree house with his father. Within his first few sentences, I was building a parallel story in my mind, one about planting a vegetable garden with my own dad. The speaker's story sometimes dovetailed and sometimes departed from my own, but it drew me in, made me recall my own experience, recreated many of the emotions of my foray into gardening, gave me the context for the points that followed. Both his story and mine remained in my mind throughout his presentation, helping me understand his message and motivating me to act upon it. He did indeed have me from hello."

Our client's reaction is not unusual. Stories carry power and can empower.

You may have heard the axiom that managers direct and executives convince, but true leaders inspire. How? By rediscovering that, regardless of role or position, a good way to inspire as well as to be remembered and understood is by telling a compelling story relevant to and illustrative of the major messages of a presentation.

Corporate executives looking to enliven their presentations, business communicators who deliver complex information, and sales executives who want to become more memorable will all benefit from learning to use stories well.
