Telling your own stories is better... but the best is when the audience feels like you are not just telling but "re-living" the experience again with them. Thanks for the post.

Telling other people's antidotes and stories is a HUGE mistake. Using someone else’s materials without acknowledging them is not only bad form, it is unethical. This is a form of verbal plagiarism. Using stories is definitely a great way to make a good presentation, but why not just use the story and say where it came from? Terry Thanks for the post.
