The Power of Story

Being able to tell a story and make it interesting.

Stories can have a powerful impact on friends and peers. It's important to think about the story you want to tell. Stories with honesty and integrity may be more successful in building followers than stories that are false or misleading.

Check your facts. Your audience can determine the accuracy of the supporting elements in your story with a quick click.

Leadership and storytelling. One of the most powerful parts of storytelling is "how" a story is told and the relationship that develops between the teller and the reader or listener.

A good leader / storyteller communicates ideas, images, and personal understanding while making the information interesting and entertaining. The process of consuming and reflecting on a story can help an audience examine and clarify their own attitudes and behaviors.
