What is storytelling? Storytelling has been around since ancient history. We have told stories around fire places, e.g. to warn about dangers or to explain important matters in a way that people remember them. It is a powerful way of building engagement and keeping your audience’s interest. It's a way of sharing ideas, behaviors and experiences.
Good stories connect with people emotionally, they make people relate, feel and understand. A story with a good narrative makes a connection to why others should care about what you have to tell. It’s not enough with merely raw data and facts. Context and emotional touch can completely change the perception of an item!
What are the benefits of storytelling?
• Stories help to build empathy.
• Stories make people feel, and when we feel things, we remember them.
• Stories spark imagination and can generate new ideas. This will add value to the business and the brand.
• Stories bring pains and pleasures of using e.g. products to life. This can make products or services far more engaging than what a list of features would do. The values and stories that certain products or services bring, can also help motivate teams and developers as to why they're building a product. Just imagine life without their products or services...
• Stories can help you explain difficult concepts. By providing more context to a situation, the audience can connect with a concept and to understand.
• It gives you the ability to create captivating speeches and presentations, successful social media campaigns, and make films that will have real impact on people – and on sales. They can be implemented everywhere, blogs, whitepapers, in your about us section online etc.
How do I tell my story in a compelling and captivating way?
• Craft your story with the help of the story plan in the attached PDF. Think about the purpose of your story and what you want your audience to feel when they listen to you. Build your story around that emotion!
• Effective stories speak the language of the audience, are rooted in data, and take advantage of compelling artifacts. Adapt your vocabulary to your audience (the ones listening to your story).
• Use real life experiences rather than fictional stories. Be transparent and genuine.
