Every story needs a hero

Make your speeches come alive by telling stories. Make your stories come alive by having a hero.

The hero is the central figure who stumbles badly at first, perhaps even hits rock bottom. But then, through faith, persistence and a bit of Divine providence, manages to emerge victorious.

We can all resonate with such a story because we all relate to the fears of failure and the appeal of success. We all want to catch the winning touchdown after falling behind earlier in the game.
The best stories for your next speech should have a central character who goes from "zero to hero."
Great novels and movies are based on this model. Virtually all biographies would not be written without such a story arc.

So, the best stories for your next speech should have a central character who goes from "zero to hero." The hero might be you. It could be someone else. 

Help us see, feel and taste the bitterness in the early going. Let us in on the secret sauce that helps the hero succeed. 

Finally, help us understand the lesson or insight so that we can apply it to our own lives.
