How To Tell Great Stories That Engage Everyone
Have you ever put yourself out there sharing a story that is incredibly personal or one that gives you great pride, only to notice your audience is scrolling social media by the time you wrap things up? Right now there are countless incredible stories of courage, sacrifice and uncertainty that need to be told.
Good storytelling is hard. Maybe your story is an excessive length. It could be too heavy on the stats or possibly fail to speak to the priorities of the person in front of you. Long winded stories punish your audience. Data dumps are quickly forgotten and your audience will always be wondering ‘what’s in it for me?’. Bottom line, without good storytelling, opportunities get missed.
Storytelling is the foundation of relationships and human connection. Our minds are structured to remember good stories. It’s a skill that motivates others to act and inspires commitment from your listeners. If told effectively, your story can help draw people closer to you.
