In my early days of leadership and teaching, I would get extremely nervous before speaking to large groups. Am I interesting enough? Is my message clear? One critical element I realized further along after boring many audiences was that storytelling was the key especially when you are new to a community. When I began with a story, people were hooked and they got to know me a bit better. The act of beginning with a relevant story also helped me relax as a speaker. Telling your story helps people relate to you and identify with you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We remember stories. Stories can build connection and ultimately your relatability and your relationship. If you are speaking in a full faculty, board, or parent meeting, \u2018make sure your pitch provides information on competence and change, experience and expectations, and your overall leadership approach.\u2019 writes David Sluss in Harvard Business Review<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
