Stop Telling Bad Stories
Storytelling is everywhere - movies, advertising, video games, journalism, social media, your job - but so many of us are so focused on facts and data that we lose sight of why those matter in the first place. Telling a good story is vital; we tell stories to sell products, to build relationships, and to share information. But the content of the story is less important than how that story is told, and storytelling itself is changing faster than ever before. Join me as we talk about how one of the oldest tools of human civilization is our most powerful tool for modern innovation, and learn how you can tell more engaging, relatable, and memorable stories.
