Common Mistakes in Storytelling and Strategies to Avoid Them
➤ Complicating the Narrative: Keep It Simple
➤ Tip: Stick to the KISS principle.
Example:
If you're giving a TED talk about mental health, avoid medical jargon like "neurotransmitters" or "cognitive behavioral therapy."
Instead, use everyday language and relatable stories to get your point across.
➤ Neglecting the Audience: Know Who You're Talking To
➤ Tip: Always conduct an audience analysis.
Example:
If you're speaking at a tech conference, don't start your presentation with a Shakespearean quote.
Instead, maybe open with a famous quote from Steve Jobs or Elon Musk that resonates with your audience.
