I was bit bored of the session, continued with StoryTelling for AgileBusiness by Ameen from StoryWallah.
It was really brilliant talk from him, very well articulated about StoryTelling and its importance in real time world. As per him, Story should always be a true story, every instance can be converted through a story...Only vocabulary is what matters...Always try use a different word that noone used...This way you connect better..
His way of speech, approach of connect to the audience was impressive..
