Podcast 5 - Examples & Stories
This is the fifth of six podcasts in which I interview people whose jobs require them to communicate on a regular basis. Here, the contributors explain how specific examples can be used to explain general concepts, and how stories can hook the memory of the audience while also breathing life into the presenter.

And I think you said it spot on, when we tell stories we're not presenting anymore - we're sitting at the bar stool, telling our mate about something. We then become more natural and bring in all the subtleties that make a presentation interesting and engaging (pause, tone, energy etc).
