The benefits of storytelling include:
Capture Attention
People may ignore data and tune off logic, but it is difficult to not be hooked by a story. Tell a tale to convey important information, draw attention, or make your case.
Bring Numbers Alive
People are numb to numbers. However, the stories behind the numbers are interesting.
How you managed to sign up an elusive customer by engineering an accidental meeting captivates your audience and builds credibility.
Illustrate Values and Purpose
People interpret values and purpose in their own way - often in ways you did not intend.
Telling a story to illustrate a value brings clarity.
Evoke the Right Emotions.
Decisions inevitably involve emotions.
Left to their own, the same information might evoke different emotional responses, and lead to different decisions.
Tell a story and get people to experience the emotions you wish to evoke.
Provide Context and framing.
When talking about your weaknesses or failures, telling the story provides the context and allows you to frame the takeaway the way you wish.
You must master storytelling if you wish to influence people and shape perception.
