Emotional Storytelling

How do master storytellers compel us? There have been many attempts to understand what makes a good story, but few have used a scientific approach. In The Science of Storytelling, Will Storr applies dazzling psychological research and cutting-edge neuroscience to our myths and archetypes to show how we can tell better stories, revealing, among other things, how storytellers - and also our brains - create worlds by being attuned to moments of unexpected change.

Telling stories is as old as language itself. Before humans learned how to write, the only way to communicate was through telling stories. In today's world, most of us regard ourselves as bad storytellers. What happened? Telling great stories is a skilled art. Almost anyone can become a first-class storyteller, and you can learn the secrets.

Give your hard work a voice and amplify your impact by communicating in a way that makes people want to listen and respond—storytelling with you will help you do it.

Many of us would love to hold the attention of a crowd, a classroom, or just a group of our friends by telling them a great story. We have felt the pressure of a public presentation or the disappointment of a story that is ignored and we are ready for more. In The Art of Storytelling, John Walsh talks through the steps to presenting a compelling story, outlining the strategies that helped him move from stutterer to storyteller as he fulfilled his calling of becoming a preacher.

Are your emotions distorting your perception of reality and making you feel stuck? Do you often find yourself reacting based on feelings that don’t match the facts? Are you ready to break free from emotional patterns that keep you from achieving true clarity and growth? Have you ever found yourself caught in a whirlwind of emotions, convinced that what you’re feeling is the truth, only to realize later that it led you down a path of confusion and regret?

The old way of selling is to push a message or product. The new way of selling is to pull people in with a compelling story - one that is magnetic to clients. Better Selling Through Storytelling helps people become master storytellers so they can truly love what they do and get off the self-esteem roller coaster of only feeling good if their numbers are up.
