Stories of overcoming obstacles provide a dramatic arc to the narrative we tell the world. Inspiring storytellers don’t avoid the difficult parts of their arc, but rather embrace every step as an opportunity to transform, grow, and to make a deeply meaningful emotional connection with their audience.
Every brand can craft better stories. The secret is to tap the collective wisdom of all the brand’s storytellers.

Humility is a trait that most successful storytellers share. Storytelling requires constant and never-ending trial and error. It requires practice, hours and hours of it.

A good story can help explain an idea. A great story educates, entertains, inspires, and ultimately fires up our collective imagination. Tell great ones.
