The Art Of Storytelling
Why is storytelling so powerful for leaders?
Telling stories is one of the most powerful means that leaders have to influence, teach, and inspire.
What makes storytelling so effective for learning? Storytelling forges connections among people, and between people and ideas. Stories convey the culture, history, and values that unite people. But most importantly, stories often lead to action. Logic makes people think; emotion makes them act. At the end of the day, we want to prompt people to do something, and logic doesn’t necessarily emote.
The Art of Powerful Storytelling
Everyone has stories to tell, but storytelling is a skill that can be developed and as a tool it can be used to powerful effect.
Developed and used purposefully, storytelling stories emotionally connect people and create brand loyalty.
Storytelling connects us, helps us make sense of the world, and communicates our values and beliefs. A good story makes us think and feel, and speaks to us in ways that numbers, data, and presentation slides simply can’t. It can contribute to inclusion and connection, build confidence, and bring about change.
