Hi,
Before me was a stadium full of people I barely knew. Then something happened.
It is what all speakers dread.
My slides disappeared from the big screen behind me.
Gone.
And they never came back. It was a moment that all speakers hope will never happen.
But it did.
I had no other option but to continue. To tell stories.
"People will forget what you said but they will never forget how you made them feel".
In that quote (often attributed to Carl Buechner) is the truth about the art of storytelling.
Touching people's hearts is at the centre of powerful engagement and persuasive marketing.
When I started my online publishing adventure it was all about the facts. Information, data and stats.
When I commenced my speaking career my Powerpoint's were all about bullet points. More information and more stuff.
When I began writing emails the facts were the main hero.
But if you want to move people, educate and transform you need more than that in your toolbox.
As marketers you need stories to be memorable. To persuade.
In a digital age and a noisy world we need the art of storytelling more than ever.

Have a great week and be awesome.
Cheers
