YES, the power of preparation for your speech in from of your audience is important but STORYTELLING makes it memorable…

Using storytelling is so powerful because it makes what you’re talking about and sharing with them “sticky.” Storytelling helps your audience relate to the content and the message. It gives them a chance to see some of themselves or a relationship with the story and associate it with something them can use in their mind as a frame of reference. The more effectively you can use practical storytelling in your presentations or speeches the more you can expect that the audience will remember and take away exactly what you intended for them to get from your speech.
