Better Said Than Done defines storytelling as the art of performing a true, personal story in front of a live audience. The stories are personal. They are stories, meaning they have a beginning, middle, and end. Most importantly, storytelling is a performance, an art, a form of entertainment, and a reality the audience will not forget.
