  4. Focus on an aspect of your leadership story, not the entire family history. Try not to read your talk but we don't want you to ramble either. So it is important to rehearse your talk.

  5. Effective storytelling has a beginning, a middle, and an end.

  6. Choose your presentation format. You may include song, poetry, spoken word, rap, dance, etc. or plain old PPT slides to make your presentation effective. You may also play an instrument if this will make your presentation more fun or reinforce a key point.
