We are a storytelling culture and as a speaker you can tell us the point you are trying to make and we may understand it, but we get meaning through stories.
The art of storytelling is a necessary part of successful speaking (whether keynote or training). People learn easier if they can visualize your idea. The ability to visualize a concept or idea enables the listener to see what is being said as well as hear it, and the subject matter then comes to life for them.
Storytelling has been used for centuries to pass on information. And using stories to illustrate and emphasize points today is still the best way to create picture images that help your audience comprehend and retain your message.
