I have been fortunate enough to work for an individual who was an outstanding story-teller. He actually belonged to a story-telling group and would often use some of his colleagues for a group presentation that was centered around "stories".

Bill could put together two or three stories that were specifically tailored to particular objectives and intent. It was quite a remarkable and entertaining experience to be an audience member. His stories would "involve" the audience because they were stories that everyone could identify with; and really "paint" a mental picture that involved the listeners almost as characters/observers in the story.

His stories were often very humorous, centered around common every day experiences and would really "bring the important points" home. The details of the story would remain in your mind for a day or so; the story itself a bit longer, maybe a week or so; but the "talking-points" would often remain in one's mind in such a way that anything that evoked a memory of the story (or a part of the story) would "automatically" and almost immediately bring the essence and purpose of the story back to mind.

Some people are very good at story-telling; and story tellers usually have a talent for painting a "picture" that the mind retains. This being said, if one is a good story teller, he/she may want to utilize story-telling or give a "story-telling" presentation a try.
