Humans are wired for narrative. Neuroscience shows that when we hear stories, multiple brain regions fire — sensory, emotional, even motor areas. A well-told story makes the listener feel like they’re experiencing it.
– Instead of listing achievements, tell a story about a trip, a lesson, or a funny mistake.
– According to Stanford research, stories are 22x more memorable than facts alone.
Result: She doesn’t just remember what you said — she remembers how it made her feel.
