Becoming a Professional Speaker

Steve Donofrio shares how he stumbled upon the speaking industry after years of experience as a youth pastor and trainer. Despite not realizing there was a professional speaking industry, his background in speaking and training provided a solid foundation for his journey. He highlights the importance of not forcing stories when they do not fit and not making every story about oneself. Instead, he suggests connecting stories to principles and points, drawing inspiration from children's stories, fables, and parables. By doing so, speakers can create extraordinary stories from the ordinary moments of their lives.
