Stories are very powerful to include in your training because when you relate them to learning points, your participants will remember them long after the session is over. For example...
Do you know the story of the rocks and the jar? It's been around for years.

Creating Your Stories
-------------------------
If you are creating a story to use in a training, try to use dialogue, as shown in the example above, because it will make your story come alive.
Use personal stories whenever they are appropriate, because they are unique so your participants will not have heard them before. And... you won't forget the story when you are telling it, because you experienced it. What's more, your teaching point will make more of an impact.
Most important, make sure your stories are relevant to the training content.
For example, the above story can be used when doing a training about time management and setting priorities.

Do you know the story of the rocks and the jar? It's been around for years.
In this story, a professor fills a large empty mayonnaise jar with large rocks. When he asked the students, "Is the jar full?," they replied, "Yes."
So the professor poured small pebbles into the jar which filled the spaces between the rocks. The professor then asked the students again, "Is the jar full?" Again, they said, "Yes."
The professor then poured sand into the jar, which filled the remaining spaces of the jar.
The professor explained to his class, "That jar is your life, and the large rocks are the important things. The pebbles are only just less important and the sand represents the 'small stuff' in your life.
"If I had placed the sand and pebbles in first there would have been no room for the large rocks.
"It is the same with your life. Take care of the large rocks first. The rest is just -small stuff-."
