The Art of Storytelling

The ability to bring a story to the table and engage, for a while, the attention and imagination of others, is a skill worth cultivating. Stories connect with people in a way that facts and statistics don't. Effective story telling is what makes a speech powerful or a conversation memorable.

What makes it a story?

A narrative recounts a series of events. It tells what happened. A story brings the narrative to life by giving it personalities, personal interaction and change. In a story the outcome has significance, if only for those involved.
