It's like coding, when you fully understand OOP, you can easily switch languages. Same goes for story telling. You need to learn the structure once, then practice with different stories. People never take time to work on the foundation... they jump straight to the story. Great story tellers are people who use the same approach over and over. They ultimately get better at it. They re-apply the same patterns for new stories. Each individual has its own style. I'd suggest you to work on your own structure. How do you approach a story? Do you start with a punch line that tells people you're about to tell a story? Do you hypnotize people until they realize you're in the middle of a long story and they've been listening for hours? There are different ways of telling a story and you should start by asking yourself, what did I do yesterday? Try to come up with an answer if someone asks you the question. Write the structure down on paper and iterate until you come up with great sentences. Do that during your commute to work. Get ready just in case... How do you tell a great story? You need to highlight the emotions. Did you do something cool yesterday? What was cook about it? Why was it cool? What was your reaction? That's what people want, they're looking for emotional things (things that makes them react). Usually great story tellers make me feel like I was the subject in the story. I mean... There are a lot of things you can do...
