Storytelling is central to human existence. We tell stories to make sense of our lives, to share information, to connect across time and space. Stories can influence, caution, excite, and inspire. They can also change attitudes and catalyze action.

In this session Christa will explore the use of storytelling in a business environment. Incorporating neuroscience research, real-world examples, and – of course! – stories.

Christa will examine how to:

1. Create a “master story” to drive higher retention and recall of your message.
2. Interweave stories and data to create a cohesive and powerful narrative.
3. Leverage dramatic structure to amplify key concepts.
4. Utilize story elements to deepen your connection with your audience.
