Storytelling Beyond Founding Stories
- Storytelling goes beyond a company's founding story and should permeate all communications. - Stories help brands connect deeply with audiences and inspire action.
Heart Connection Beats Data
- Leading with facts and data connects only to the head, but storytelling connects to the heart. - Emotional connection through story creates lasting impact and motivates action better than data alone.
