Over the holidays I will be posting very useful and practical speaking & presentation tips on the 10xSpeaker blog and on my Linkedin profile (connect with me!) and #10xSpeaker hashtag (follow the hashtag!) to help you take your presentation skills & public speaking to the next level so that you make an even better start to 2021!

One of the common questions I get from people wanting to improve their public speaking and presentation skills is:

"How do I use a story in my presentation that makes a powerful point... in time!?" - because we tend to ramble on and never get to the point when sharing a story...

... and the other person says: "GET TO THE POINT...!" - Right?

One big mistake I see often are aspiring speakers skipping the story and going straight to the point.

Just give them what they want right? Give them the point, go straight to the finish line and let's not waste their time with the story. This is bad practice and likely a reflection of poor storytelling...
