If you seek to influence others, there is no single tool or technique more powerful and more readily available to you than the art of storytelling. Whether you consider yourself a storyteller or not, you tell others about what happened to you. Getting purposeful about the stories you tell (and how you tell them) is what sets the persuasive storyteller apart from the rest.
Learn and develop a communication strategy that addresses both facts and feelings while positioning yourself in a way to be heard, understood, and believed. The same principles that improve storytelling also develop leadership, emotional intelligence, self-examination, and communication skills across the board. When you learn storytelling, you also learn a new way to think.
