Three ways to make your stories stick: open with a hook that makes people curious, say what you were actually thinking instead of just narrating it, and use real dialogue instead of telling people what was said.
Steal these 3 storytelling techniques to move from this to that. Number 1, sell your point. Before you move into your actual story, you need to say 1 sentence which generate the curiosity. For example, last year I had an experience which completely changed my perspective. Technique number 2, share inner dialogue. Now we all have those experiences when we are talking to ourselves. But if you can verbalize that, it can really add value. So instead of saying, I was nervous, you say, I said to myself, how is this happening to me? Why I am feeling so much of shiver? Technique number 3, share dialogues. Lot of us get into the narration mode. She said this, then I said this, then he said this. Instead of that, share actual dialogue. Haritosh Srivastav, are you sure you want to do this? Yes. My dear, I am very sure I want to take that step. Did you see this difference? Apply these techniques to move your story from this to that.
