10 Reasons
Why Storytelling Rocks
10Copyright © 2013 Dr. Amit Nagpal All rights reserved.
 Stories deliver information, connect people on an emotional level and
build community.
 Most of the people (esp in Community-centric cultures) prefer to
share inspiring success stories and prefer building brands as more of a
byproduct rather than promote themselves directly.
 People feel comfortable with stories as they are full of depth and
meaning. No wonder stories often end with the 'moral of the story'.
 Stories stay in our mind or memory and also help us attract more
customers .
 Stories entertain. Twists and turns make stories all the more
interesting and entertaining.
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” Maya Angelou
10 Reasons
Why Storytelling Rocks
11Copyright © 2013 Dr. Amit Nagpal All rights reserved.
 Storytelling is also edutainment or "Education + Entertainment"
 Stories are all about the spirit of caring (inspiring) and sharing
(experiences & lessons)
 If storytelling is used to inspire others and build our brand/reputation
too in the process, it becomes a good example of enlightened self-
interest. Both the storyteller and audience benefit in the process.
 Stories are the most powerful way of building brands, be it personal,
organisations or products.
 Every life has a story and every story must be brought to life (when it
is put in words, audio or video, the story comes to life.)
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” Maya Angelou
10 Reasons
Why Storytelling Rocks
12Copyright © 2013 Dr. Amit Nagpal All rights reserved.
The motivation to participate
in social media
is to tell our story &
interact with others in the process.
Building and finding
a community of people
who encourage and challenge us
make it worthwhile.
