A good public speaker always take everyone on a journey leaving them feeling them inspired & it is possible only when one understand Elements of Story Telling .
Storytelling is the interactive art of using words and actions to reveal the elements and images of a story while encouraging the listener’s imagination.
Whenver we attempt or opt to enunciate story one thing which should kept in mind which is of paramount importance is thati t should have underlying
narrative structure. Every such narrative structure should have the below pointers when it comes to story telling
Exposition : Pertaining to scene setting & context.
Conflict : The problem on which the story is based.
Rising Action : The journey from Conflict to resolution.
Resolution : The solution to the problem.
Denouement : Result after the resolution/ Value for Audience.
Let me explain with an example
Life has two sides on each walk of its activities , one gets the opportunity the other looses the occasion, Ram participated in the race after loosing three times in the past , he did well but be that as it may he ended up loosing fourth time in a row. The more he brooded over the more intolerable life seems to be. Ram decided to end his life. He then read a diary of his father where in he found struggle stories of his father. He then decided to take part in race again as he realized Life has two sides on each walk of its activities.

So by now you will have clear notion in terms of how to tell the story but telling story alone is not
going to add value to what you are saying you also need something extra that incorporates your story somewhere in between , it can be done with a very
simple yet effective concept which stands for PSP
P- Tell a point
S- Tell a Story
P- Tell a Point (Conclusion Point )
