Power of Storytelling

• In a world that is DRIP [Data Rich, Insight Poor], everyone wants to get their message across, but no one has time to listen 
• Much of what we carefully prepare in our presentations goes into mental “attention spam”: filtered out before it gets a chance to reach consciousness and consideration 
• Storytelling can get underneath attention spam as it is built on the importance of emotions, which operate at the level of what is known in Behavioural Economics as System 1 
• We are innately storytelling and pattern-seeking creatures, and try provides a “Golden Thread” which the brain can hold onto 
• If you harness the emotional power of storytelling, you can win over any audience to create a dramatic impact on the way you, your team and company communicate and share information
