INSIGHT

Stories Are Primal Persuasion

  • Stories are primal communication tools that shape how people learn about the world and themselves.
  • Emotional connection from stories often makes data and analytics more persuasive and memorable.
ADVICE

Make Slides Cinematic Scenes

  • Treat presentations like cinematic stories where each slide is a scene with a purpose.
  • Use emotional connection first, then support it with data to reinforce the message.
ADVICE

Show Actions, Not Labels

  • Tell events in chronological, action-oriented detail instead of labeling traits (e.g., show bravery, don't say it).
  • Use simple language and avoid jargon that distracts listeners from the story.
