The most powerful thing about you is your story. But don't talk about yourself all the time; you'll be a bore.

Well, that all depends on whether it is all about you bring the "center of attention" or the "center or exposure". "Exposure" mesans being vulnerable and also being willing to be changed by the story. That is what this article is really all about. And it is also the essence of the talk I am on my way to give at the Pacificaa Graduate Iinstitute's conference on transformational leaderships this weekend.

The questions posed here will help you keep on track and avoid situations where you end ups telling your story from your ego instead of the place of service. It is a great checklist to keep in your back pocket.

Happy story telling!

Thank you Richard Andrews for recommending this article :)

Nick Morgan, CEO of Public Words, explains five key steps to engage any audience....

Wow -- what a great, simple, full of how-to tips 3 minute video on creating a great presentation.

Everyone has trouble with presentations. But if you follow Nick's steps, many of your challenges will be solved. I really like the 5 story categories he shares and his translation of those stories into business themes. Makes tons of sense.

Of course I like that he leads with 'Tell a story." I repeatedly find that when a speaker can tell a story, then issues of body language, expressions, tension, and fear of forgetting what he/she wants to say all lessen or disappear. 

So start there and follow the rest of the tips for a winning presentation.
