Everyone has at least two fantastic signature stories that will add great interest in his or her presentations.  Signature stories are usually personal – something from your life, and something that has a strong message behind it.  You want something memorable.  One of my favorite stories, “I Wanna Be a Philly,” answers my Dad’s question about what I want to be when I grow up.  To develop your own story, dig deep into your past, paint the pictures with words, and fill it with emotion, using gestures and the sound of your voice.  Notice that in this clip I use the voice of my Dad to make it more interesting.
