The Science of Storytelling

July 8 | 11:30 am to 1 pm EST | Virtual Session

Storytelling drives results.

A powerful story changes everything. It draws people in, strengthens your message, and makes your ideas stick. This workshop blends AI with human guidance to help you craft stories that elevate every conversation.

What you’ll learn:
1. The brain on stories:
How stories light up more of the brain than facts alone by creating empathy and shared neural responses.

2. Building blocks of a story:
Great stories use characters, conflict, and change, all guided by the Hero’s Journey framework.

3. Make your message stick:
Pacing, pausing, tone, and narrative framing help transform data and ideas into messages people remember.
