A Storyteller result was shared with you.

Your strength

People remember your examples.

Under pressure

The story can arrive before the point.

Your next move

Headline first, story second.

In an interview, your examples land, but the interviewer can be a minute in before they know what the story is proving. Say the result in one line, then tell the story that backs it up.

In a presentation, audiences remember your stories. Put the main point before the story and repeat it after, so they also remember what the story was for.

Try this: Pick a story you tell often. Say its point in one sentence. Then tell the story in under 60 seconds and finish by repeating the point.
