Storytelling has been used to shape and redefine events in order to persuade and change possible outcomes in history. Even Julius Caesar famously said that the victor told the story. Storytelling evolved as a way to ensure that history was handed down from generation to generation, so historical events were retold over and over to educate and to entertain an audience.

Join me at the Cafe as I explore the value and strategies of storytelling, along with some practical advice on establishing your story’s premise

A discussion based on a book called “Contagious” by Jonah Berger, published in 2013.

A quick summary of the topics covered in the book and what I will talk about:

  1. Social currency – does it make me look good?
  2. Triggers – how are you reminded of the product?
  3. Emotion – strong emotions = sharing
  4. Public – what is everyone else doing?
  5. Practical value – is it actually helpful?
  6. Stories – is my idea/ product a relevant part of a cool story?
