The Importance of Stories | Simon Sinek

For any great communicator or leader, storytelling is an essential skill. Stories allow us to visualize, empathize, and connect in ways that statistics never could.

"Stories are much more powerful than statistics." That one's gunna stick with me. Simple yet profound! 🔥

Storytelling is what sets many people apart in marketing campaigns in business

[izawaniek]

Stories are passed down generations. Stories are extremely important. They capture the values and the morals more than the writings on the wall. Yes. Thank you so much.

Our stories create and shape our thoughts, behaviors, mindset, even our biology. The power of the stories we tell are so important - the stories about ourselves and about others. This is such an important thing to talk about and explore - thank you so much for your insights, Simon!

Stories are how we understand the world

[thehungriestandy]

In my mind, this concept is the same as “start with why, ” just at a more personal level rather than a corporate one. It’s cementing an idea with emotion over information. I think it’s interesting how the strength of an idea can carry it all the way from one-on-one conversation to marketing and business strategy for an entire company and it’s equally as impactful in either situation.

Amazing the way you communicate so directly and deeply at the same time

[Vladimir-btxp]

The stories and what's more impornant, our emotions behind them. I believe that whole life is determined by our emotions. Happiness is an emotion. And instead of chasing somedody else's goals and dreams one must find his own inspiration and keep it. I appologize for being trivial and for disclaimer. But in my age i feel like a child who is just discovering that his emotions matter

[amarahkhan]

If you cant fly then run if you cant run then walk. If you cant walk then crawl never give up in every situation one day successful never lose hope 🌸🌸

[abdulaleemh]

Awesome and I do this every time when I start a training..

[slr-d]
