1. What story will you tell?

For new storytellers, think of a favourite or important experience or memory. Why was this experience or memory important? What significance did it have to you, then and now? If you tell a story that is meaningful to you, your listeners will likely find it valuable as well. Because stories enable us to share common human experience, it is important that you consider your listeners or audience will be (i.e., their ages, gender, educational background, ethnicities, language preferences, etc.). Try to pick a story that you and your listeners will have common knowledge about. After all, ordinary life experiences are like master teachers: they offer great lessons and understanding about ourselves, others and the world in which we live.
