Are Your Stories Doing All You Need Them to Do?

Your single most important task as a speaker is to connect with your audience. Without connection, your information goes nowhere. And you probably know that your stories are an essential tool for connecting.

But have you ever given thought to how, exactly, stories connect? Or what features of your stories will make them remembered long after you have left the stage? Are you aware of the three most common mistakes speakers make that undermine the power of their stories?

For answers to these and other questions, attend the April 27 Lunch and Learn program presented by our very own David Otey, NSA-CO President-Elect, 2025 Last Story Standing chapter champion, and two-time Toastmasters International Speech Contest semifinalist. You will come away with a deeper understanding of the power of story. You will pick up new tools for structuring a story to maximize engagement. And you may even get on-the-spot coaching on your story!
