A good story is about you and how you have changed. In every story, even the worst, the main character changes. Change is an essential part. No one wants to hear stories about drinking and/or vacations.

Make the story about you. The audience is more engaged when the story is about you, not someone else. And if you are telling someone else's story, tell your side of it. What was your part? How did you feel? Also, don't overact a story. It is not poetry or theater. It shouldn't matter if you tell your story to 1,000 people or just one.

Little moments in a well-crafted story are easier for audiences to relate to than stories about big moments, such as a car accident. As a routine, you can write a daily snippet of a moment and develop it into a story later.

"Homework for Life" (noting each day's story) will allow you to see more stories as well as patterns. Collecting them in a spreadsheet and sorting them will allow you to see things that were previously invisible.
