People remember stories better for several reasons – stories engage different parts of the brain and create links between the facts. When we imagine the story in our minds, it keeps our attention focused on the story. In addition, the meaning and associations created by the story moves the information into our long-term memory.
How do we use storytelling to influence?
Most people have relatively short attention spans, so keep your story short and simple. We recommend about 30-90 seconds for good timing, especially if you’re giving a presentation. This isn’t very long, so just retain all the relevant, important details, and skip all the rest. Keep refining and editing your story to make sure it incites the emotions you want.
