Cardinal Rules of Storytelling #10 - Be Yourself I’m sure you have seen someone present, speak or perform and you couldn’t help but think they reminded you of someone else. Whether it was content, voice or mannerisms, you could only see the person(s) he/she was emulating (imitating). I created the next rule to free presenters from the conscious and subconscious shadow of mentors, role models and inspirations: Cardinal Rule No. 10: Be Yourself. The audience wants to see, feel and experience the person standing in front of them, not a cheap facsimile of someone else.
