When you deliver your presentation you can hold the audience as the hero – they can come on the journey, you encourage them to walk through it and get passed the obstacles. Your ideas delivered in the presentation can guide them to the rewards/wisdom they seek.
How do you come up with ideas for a presentation?

Why do people like to talk about struggle in presentations?
As we are all empathic creatures, hearing about struggle evokes emotions. This is especially true if the speaker is right in front of us and we can see that they have overcome their problems.
