Storytelling
Everyone loves a good story. But when telling a story as part of your speech it is important to make sure not only that the story is interesting and to the point but also that it relates to the subject of your talk. Humorous stories, especially, can be a great way to loosen up the audience.

Watch Jordan tell a humorous story in order to relax the audience and create a warm, intimate atmosphere. (2:30 min)

Question-and-answer sessions after your speech are important because they let the audience feel involved in your presentation. But how do you deal with long-winded questioners or with inquiries for which you don't have answers?

Watch a humorous example of a long-winded questioner and learn how to deal with that type of situation. (2:09 min)
