Make my example personalFramework
How to use examples without sounding generic
Replace vague praise with proof
Instead of saying she is kind, choose the moment that proves it. Specificity is what makes an example become yours.
Match your real speaking voice
If a sentence sounds too formal for you, simplify it. A natural voice beats perfect wording at a wedding.
Keep the emotional turn
Good examples often move from light to sincere. Use that rhythm so the speech feels human instead of one-note.
