In this episode, we sit down with Stephanie Paul to discuss the magic of the story and how to use it to engage and influence any audience. Stephanie is an author and speaker coach who coaches executive sales teams, TEDx speakers, fundraisers, and other experts on how to become better storytellers and presenters. She believes that story is prewired into our brains, which is why it is so important to tickle that part of the brain.
Stephanie explains that a story should be more than just a list of facts; it should be a message that emotionally moves us in some capacity. She has helped over 30 presenters craft compelling and concise stories as well as become better presenters.
