And before you get into telling your story, let me just share with you quickly elements of an effective story because it's very important that you understand this as you're going to go around your tables now and discuss a little bit about your past. Keep it short. Number one, when you're telling your story, keep it short. This next one is very important. Focus more on who you are.

You noticed that in my story, I didn't get into my business world experience or anything that I did. That can come out later on in conversations as you get to know each other. But right now, who are you? How did you grow up? A little bit about your family and a little bit about how you think and how you feel.

Talk about those kinds of things more than what you do, as I said. And then highlight special experiences like I just did. Times, highlights in your story where you kind of got a particular and very special kind of message. Maybe something that God has done in your life. Maybe God hasn't done much in your life right now.

Maybe you're searching, whatever it might be. Just share some of those experiences as you go around your table and talk a little bit about who you are.
