I love stories! Tree
 
This is the season of get-togethers and story-telling, and I am excited by that.
 
The thing is, I had the hardest time putting together my story.   I didn't know how to start. How would I make it interesting?  I found every excuse to avoid the task. Well, I finally did it by incorporating the basic elements that I discuss in today's article.  What a relief to have my story down in a manner that I was comfortable with and it wasn't even a tough thing to do!  (Oh, why do I procrastinate on such things?)
 
If you identify with my hesitation, then I hope this issue encourages you to share your story!

Hello
What's Your Story?
Share your message by including 5 elements
 
The greatest story ever told is the story of Mary and Joseph and the birth of the baby Jesus. It has been written in nearly every language spoken by man. It has been painted, acted and sculpted. It has been analyzed and romanticized. But it is the most recognized story on Earth. It is the reason for the Season!
 
That's proof that the art of storytelling is powerful!  It can be found every culture and in every land as a means of education, entertainment, and moral enlightenment. It is the most effective way of organizing information.  I bet your family will have plenty of old stories  told this holiday season!
 
Your information can benefit from a story.  Maybe it's the tale of your life or the transformation of your client, or a funny anecdote.  It could be all of the above!
 
It's best to start with your story.  You may very well have need of different versions, depending on the audience before you, and the amount of time allotted to share your information.  You may have a 30-minute version, but you will more likely be in need of a 2-minute version and it may be a bit of a challenge to edit your history so drastically and still maintain the integrity, entertainment value, and important emotive power. Some things to keep in mind:
 
Every effective story contains these 5 elements:
