Maybe you want to give the impression that you are a highly intellectual, bookish, scholarly, and brainy individual or you want to make people truly understand your academic nature.

Whether trying to sharpen your business writing skills or presentation skills, the key is to tell your reader or audience what you want (or what you want them to understand) and then tell them why that's important. For any writer practicing effective communication, that starts with "five Ws and one H" -- who, what, when, why, where and how. The SEALs understood that all their hard-won knowledge has little value if they can't develop the communication skills to share it with the people who set policy, spend money and make far-reaching decisions. And those people are busy, so business communication training, whether for writing skills or presentation skills, has to focus on brevity, clarity and making your point.

Of course finding a good story is tough, but once you find it what's next. The reason that interviews are tough is because not only you have to talk to people you also need to get certain information out of them. Sometimes you simply want to know what their experience has been; in other words, you want to collect their testimony as witnesses.

That's why you may be tempted to use humor in some of your business communications. You may want to start a speech with a joke, or break the ice at a meeting with a funny story. You have some new clients and you think throwing in a bit of humor could help you bod. It seems like a good idea, but it may backfire. That's because everyone does not find the same things funny. You may find a host of unexpected reactions which you never contemplated.

Metaphors, a common technique in modern storytelling, are the comparison of two objects within a sentence, saying one is the other. This attention-grabbing way of conveying a message is used to deliver a particular idea.

That way, you will be sure share it in such a way that you don't lose the other person's interest. You will want to start off by grabbing their attention so that they want to learn more.
