Have you ever heard of a shaggy dog story? It’s a long-winded story full of unnecessary descriptions of details, irrelevant incidents, scene changes, constant trips down random tangents, and an endless string of unimportant introductions of secondary characters - all wrapped up in a monotonous rambling diatribe that never gets to the point!

See what I did there? lol!

As a speaker, you want to avoid the shaggy dog story like the plague! But how can you do that, you may ask? I want to “Easily!” But honestly, it’s not that easy. We tend to think ALL the details are important, but really they aren’t.

The object is to leave out anything that doesn’t move the story along. Cut down the number of characters, the facts that don’t matter, and most of the excruciating details.

in fact, you might even want to challenge yourself to tell your story in one sentence, then add crucial details back in sparingly.

That way your audience won’t get bored because you’re taking way too long to get to the point during the storytelling portion of your presentation!

It’s a valuable skill for public speaking to be able to tell a story that gets to the point!
