An article by Carmine Gallo at the Harvard Business Review on April 27, 2022 titled What the best presenters do differently describes how the best (storytellers) differ from the rest of us, who merely are presenters. Five crucial differences are that:
Presenters open PowerPoint. Storytellers craft a narrative.
Presenters use text. Storytellers love pictures.
Presenters dump data. Storytellers humanize it.
Presenters are predictable. Storytellers surprise audiences.
Presenters practice silently. Storytellers rehearse out loud.
