The Power of Story
In business, in marketing, and in life
Stories are...
Emotion
Wisdom
Memory
Inspiration
Stories...
Teach
Engage
Entertain
Bond
In business, stories can...
Grab

       Grab
Illuminate
Influence
Compel
Most importantly, stories...
...are not bullet points!
“Stories are the creative conversion of life itself
into a more powerful, clearer, more meaningful
experience. They are the currency of human
contact.”

— Robert McKee
Why don’t we use stories
       more?
“I can’t tell good stories”
“I don’t have any good stories”
“I don’t know when to tell a
           story”
Ready to change that?
It’s not that hard
Stay tuned...
