In today’s video, I  share my secrets for telling REAL stories that are so incredible people almost won’t believe you.
Hint #1: I have a file in my phone exclusively for funny and unbelievable events that occur.

Hint #2: I always tell someone about what just happend immediately afterward so the story is locked in my memory.

Hint #3: Always intro a story so you “hook” them early (ie. “We all know what’s done in Vegas stays in Vegas. Well this time I’m going to break that rule…”)

Leave me a comment, and let me know how you locate stories.

While in Washington DC, speaking for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, someone approached me after my talk and asked, “Mr. Sprinkles what other subjects or topics do you speak on?”

As I answered the question, I realized that there was a great speaking tip that I wanted to pass on to my readers and friends.

In this video, I share 1) how I select speech topics and 2) how I communicate those topics.  Understanding this technique will make you stand out from other public speakers and position you as the expert in your field.

Enjoy the video and let me know what you think.
