Your Brain is Wired to Learn Through Stories... So Tell a Story Today

Jul 22, 2017

Many trainers and instructional designers have already discovered the power of storytelling in a practical sense – they have observed how compelling a well-constructed narrative can be. But recent scientific work is putting a much finer point on just how stories change our attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors.

  • Should we incorporate into every training or presentation some kind compelling, story or narrative?
  • Will a powerful narrative make your information more persuasive and memorable?
  • Can stories be used to manipulate your learners?
