As a speaker, when you tell a story, it’s important to not have it come off looking like a stage-play. Instead, it should feel like an ongoing conversation with your audience mixed with some scenes that you invite them to experience.

I was telling the audience the story of how I got HIV and was told that I might live 5 years. Then I tell them the advances in HIV since then and how HIV is not being passed on using medication. I step out to say “Spoiler alert: I survived!” then carry on with the story. The last time I did this, I was surprised to get a round of applause.. which made me laugh, it was a touching moment.
