If you’re a long-time listener of our podcast, you’re already aware that our guests have truly mastered the art of storytelling. No matter their business or history, they have a knack for making their dreams and ideas relatable, reaching out on an emotional level to connect with everyone listening.
Storytelling is a useful skill, and now more than ever, it’s an important one to have in both life and business. But how do you tell a good story, especially when it’s about what most matters to you? On this episode of the podcast, Tequila shares her own insights into the storytelling process, as well as reasons why it’s a talent you should definitely consider cultivating!
The human mind simply loves stories. Stories make us all relatable. We see ourselves in certain aspects of a story’s characters: we can identify and empathize with them.
Storytelling is fundamental to who we are as human beings. The narrative of a story helps us to better understand ourselves, or at least how we see ourselves, and they can also help us understand where we imagine ourselves in the future. Because stories are so integral to our lives, everyone tells and responds to them in one way or another.
In this episode of the Stand Out Be You Podcast, Tequila Dodard explains that whether you’re talking to your friend in a cafe or explaining the goals of your business, we all have a deep desire to connect to each other on an emotional level—and that’s where we begin to see the importance of a good story! In business especially, storytelling is often overlooked, but Tequila’s insights will show why stories are critical for helping your audience peek behind the curtain and relate to what drives you.
Storytelling is a powerful communication technique, but learning the art of storytelling can take some effort.
