Are you struggling to keep your audience hooked?

Well, you're probably missing the details

that can make or break your presentation.

And I'm about to show you what they are.

I'm doing an 11 part video series on mastering storytelling

to influence anyone, anywhere.

And this is lesson number,

making your story memorable.

Unfortunately, too many stories are forgotten because they're vague

or even overloaded with irrelevant information.

The key is choosing the details that actually matter,

which helps your message stick.

We've talked a lot about emotionally connecting with people,

but without the right details,

your story won't stay with the audience

or even let alone they won't know what to do with information.

The details you choose can make or break your story.

Too many and you lose people.

Too few and the message just fades away.

Strategic detail is that balance that brings your story to life.

Go back and think of a movie or a book that you absolutely love.

It's the vivid detail

that make you feel like you were part of that story.

There's power in that detail.

Do it right. And the reason for that

is that details create the sensory experience for your audience.

They can see, hear,

and even feel the story. That's what makes it memorable.

So here's today's tool.

I want you to add one or two vivid details to your new story.

So instead of just saying,

we had a great time, say

the sun was setting

and We cast this beautiful orange glow across the lake,

and we were laughing so hard that our sides were hurting.

When you use that level of detail,

your story becomes more than just words.

It becomes a shared experience that your audience will engage in.

And again, remember,

in Lesson 8, we're gonna break down

how to use tension and resolution in storytelling

to keep your audience on the edge of their seats.
