Public Speaking - Get Your Audience Interested With the Right Stories Posted By : Edward Hope

In public speaking, as with conversation, stories are a very powerful in gaining and keeping your listener's attention. The stories that will probably be most useful for public speaking engagements will be the smaller items, not those that make the headline news. But two cautions are that the stories maybe too well known to be effective and the internet can be an unreliable source as regards to accuracy. The stories chosen should be relevant to your speech, illustrate or prove the point that is being made. The stories used do not have to be unique to your speech but avoid stories that have been told and re-told many times.
