Make It Stick: Storytelling Techniques That Turn Information Into Impact

Every day, professionals share data, strategies, and updates that are important but quickly forgotten. The problem is not the content. The problem is that most messages lack emotional connection. Without emotion, the human brain treats information as disposable. Storytelling changes that. A well-told story gives people something to relate to, something they can picture and feel.
