In this video, I reveal the number one secret to public speaking. It’s not enough to be clever in front of an audience.
In fact, they will not remember your brilliant points after the speech. They will not remember your powerpoints. But they will remember the stories you tell.
That’s why storytelling in public speaking is a must. It’s the one skill you have to master.
Whether you are giving a wedding toast, speaking at your family reunion, or giving a presentation at work, you need to share stories.
The people who changed the world through words use stories to persuade, motivate, and evoke emotion in their listeners. They mesmerize them with highly charged and emotional hooks through stories.
Now, of course, there are so many different kinds of stories. But it doesn’t matter. You just need to keep in mind that when you are speaking in public, you need to carefully select a few stories to engage your audience.
Yes, you must make a point. You cannot just tell a story for the sake of telling it. The audience is always silently saying, “What’s the point?” or “get to the point.” Do you see what I mean?
When you can masterfully use a story to illustrate a point, your message will stick. You are able to engage and connect with your audiences.
Thanks, Rene. There’s some great insight here as far as branding, design and marketing go, too. I found this really helpful. Cheers!
Hi Rene, i have a story to tell about my up bringing relationship with my mother and i feel there are alot of girls, women and current mothers that can relate to my story and i want to become a motivational speaker to share my story and let them know that they are not alone and motivate them on how to deal with the issue.
That sounds great to me. When are you ready to start?
Good day Rene,
Your video is very helpful and powerful. So now I want to start speaking. Where do I start and how? Because I believe I have to start small and grow bigger and bigger. Secondly, how do I prepare for speaking. Lastly, do my stories goes with listeners or just tell any store?
Thank you
Maxwell

It’s my pleasure Sheila. Glad you find the videos very helpful.
This is a great video and it will really help me reach my audience! Rene…thanks for all your help. I have been watching your videos since May 2014. Your words inspired me to write a book. I never thought I could write a book until I started following you. Your words were 10 chapters and 10 pages per chapter. I just self-published my first books titled S.A.V.E.D. for young adults.
Thanks so much for motivating me!
Great! I’m glad you were able to use my ideas to write your book. It’s not that hard. It just takes discipline.
Thanks Rene. I’m learning a lot from you.
