Practice in Context

Practice your signature story in different contexts. Tell it at a networking event, in a job interview, over dinner with friends. Each telling teaches you what connects and what falls flat. Pay close attention to where listeners lean in and where eyes drift.

Refine based on real feedback, not abstract theory. If people keep asking follow-up questions about a detail, expand it. If a section draws blank stares, cut it without mercy. After twenty tellings, your story will be polished, natural, and unforgettable.
