The 90-Minute Plan

Story Structure0–15 min

Learn the Hero's Journey: beginning, conflict, climax, resolution. Every great story has this arc.

Find Your Story15–35 min

Identify a personal experience with clear challenge and learning. Something authentic you lived.

Add Sensory Details35–55 min

Include what you saw, heard, felt. Specific details make stories memorable, not generic ones.

Practice Delivery55–75 min

Tell your story out loud 5 times. Use pauses for effect. Vary pace and tone for engagement.

Tell to Audience75–90 min

Share your story with friends or colleagues. Ask what parts stuck with them. Refine.

Pro Tip

Start with vulnerability. The best stories involve the teller admitting mistakes or fears.
