How can you incorporate storytelling into your public speaking for maximum impact?
It's where you put the story. Most come onto the stage and immediately start asking rhetorical questions, stating facts, or quoting famous people. But When you lead with a story that helps the audience connect with you and allows them to understand that you get them, you know them, and you can help them. They will listen to the rest of the presentation and beyond. And your story (or stories) you share do not have to be the most profound, darkest thing that has happened to you or the 1 in a million thing you did. They can simply be ordinary stories that connect, and with the right pieces in place alongside a story, you can move people and help them take action in their lives.

Here's how you can develop confidence in public speaking and presentations.
There is an art to public speaking; as a speaker, you first need to be crystal clear on the problem you solve and the audience you are serving. Most people can't narrow down enough to create impact and clarity. And second rather than speaking in your fancy expert jargon, you need to learn, know, and understand the audience's language. An audience will listen if they feel you understand their problem first, not just because you have fancy solutions. Connection breeds conversation, and conversation breeds collaboration.

Diastasis Recti: Splitting of the Fascia of the Rectus Abdominis by Hope Zvara
Natural Awakenings Mag.
Most people would love to have a killer core—that is, a waistline to die for—but at what cost? Diastasis recti is a splitting of the fascia of the rectus abdominis down the linia alba, or midline, that separates it into left and right halves. The condition occurs primarily in infants and pregnant women, but can also be the result of obesity, particularly when excessive fat surrounds the abdomen. Diastasis recti can also be cause by certain abdominal exercises and heavy weightlifting— which is a…

Transversus What?
Nature's Pathways Mag
Transversus … is that some kind of car part? Well, if you are talking about the transversus abdominis, then yes, it is kind of like the body of a car. Without this core muscle, nothing works right and many things start to fall apart.
Our transversus abdominus (TvA) is our deepest core muscle. It acts as a corset around our torso surrounding our spine and is literally the motherboard of our strength and core support....... -
10 Tips for a Functional Body
Mind Body Green.com
Here are ten key tips to stop treating pain and to start treating dysfunction:
1. Get off the floor. Unless you are a mechanic, training yourself, especially your core, solely (or the majority of the time) on the floor will not get you the results you are hoping to achieve. Think about how you can do what you are trying to do on the floor standing up. Lying flat on your back for core work only triggers about 10% of your transversus abdominus, your core most muscle (which is also a back…Here are ten key tips to stop treating pain and to start treating dysfunction:
1. Get off the floor. Unless you are a mechanic, training yourself, especially your core, solely (or the majority of the time) on the floor will not get you the results you are hoping to achieve. Think about how you can do what you are trying to do on the floor standing up. Lying flat on your back for core work only triggers about 10% of your transversus abdominus, your core most muscle (which is also a back muscle). So how about a standing “Pilates” 100 or what about the standing “Saw”? Look at what the movement is trying to achieve, not necessarily what it looks like, so you can morph it into a more body-friendly version.

Turning traditional yoga on its ear – Hope Zvara applies her Core Functional Fitness™ methods to yoga with great results
-
.....nd so Hope applied Core Functional Fitness™ to her yoga practice. She created this functional method of movement to address postures, movements and body alignment from the ground up, both on and off the mat. As she explains, “Yoga shouldn’t be about just doing or copying a movement, but instead how the body communicates with itself for functional, applicable movements specified to one’s needs.” The key components of Core Functional Fitness™ include:........
