Storytelling – the why, what and how of creating and using stories in speeches‪!‬ D27 Discuss with Us!

    • Self-Improvement

In this episode, I interview Heather Keenan on storytelling
and the why, what, and how of creating and using stories in speeches. Human history first passed down through stories but are still powerful tools to explain issues, persuade to take on an action, create a shared understanding, or increase retention of information. For example, in business today there is a push to use
big data for decision making, but making sense of the data for an audience requires a good story. Using simple but powerful examples, Heather explains elements, tools, and techniques we should consider when including stories into presentations. Listen to this podcast and become a master of storytelling!
