Surveys and numbers can capture averages, but they can’t reveal the raw humanity of lived experience. Stories can. Stories connect us, capture nuance and emotion, and uncover the “why” behind our choices in ways numbers never will. In this episode, Dart and James Warren talk about why stories reveal truths surveys miss, how personal narratives can be transformed into meaningful change, and how organizations can flip the script to see their people more fully.

James Warren founded Share More Stories in 2014 on the belief that everyone’s stories matter — that by listening to them, organizations can do better and be better. Today, the company combines human expression with digital tools like its SEEQ Platform to help leaders uncover deep human insights and turn them into better decisions, stronger relationships, and sustainable growth.

In this episode, Dart and James discuss:
- Why stories reveal truths surveys miss
- How prompts unlock surprising vulnerability
- Turning personal narratives into organizational change
- The role of vulnerability in leadership
- Why being heard is often the most powerful outcome
- What it means to flip the script
- Why your company is inside your people
- And other topics…
