                                 ©
Why does most
business communication
         lacks
        impact?

But people love stories




                          ©
People love stories
  • Stories have been used to pass
    along knowledge for
    thousands of years

  • Every culture has a history of
    storytelling

  • Stories can take many forms:
    written, oral, paintings,
    architectural.
