Sophie's key points from the webinar
Storytelling literally electrifies the brain and dopamine is released in response to an emotionally charged event, highlighting the deep impact of storytelling on human psychology.
Stories have the power to attract, engage, connect and unite.
The most important part of storytelling is that it helps us to be remembered and galvanises people to take action.
The hero's journey positions the audience as the hero and your business as the guide, leading them through their journey to find resolution.
Knowing what you stand for can help you stay focused and consistent in your storytelling, even when your brain tells you otherwise.
Avoid long, confusing first paragraphs in your storytelling, and instead use a short, punchy hook to grab your audience's attention.
Your passion is a brilliant source of inspiration for storytelling and can help you connect with your audience on a deeper level.
Don't be afraid to evoke emotion and be honest about your own experiences in your storytelling to make a real impact.
