STORIES ARE AN INCREDIBLY
POWERFUL WAY TO COMMUNICATE.

DATA SATISFY THE ANALYTICAL PART OF OUR BRAINS,
BUT STORIES TOUCH OUR HEARTS.

CONSIDER PLATO'S VIEW
“
”

PERHAPS YOU DON'T WANT TO RULE SOCIETY, BUT
YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE A BIT MORE INFLUENTIAL.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT IF WE WANT TO
COMMUNICATE MORE EFFECTIVELY, STORIES
CAN HELP US DO THAT.

WE ALL HAVE A STORY TO TELL, BUT HOW DO
WE KNOW THE RIGHT WAY TO TELL IT.
