Storytelling is a way of sharing our memories and experiences with others.

It's important for personal growth because it helps us communicate the important moments in our lives.

By telling stories, we connect with others, build relationships, and learn from each other's experiences.

It's a way to pass on wisdom, create bonds, and make memories together, enriching our personal growth journey through shared moments and lessons.

The magical science of story telling

Why story telling is more trustworthy than data

Author's Opinion 1

Storytelling. www.coliniles.com
Stories are what drives human behavior since the beginning of time. (stories are a collection of memory making moments.)

In fact, stories have shaped our history in every regard, whether that relates to religion, politics or the underlying of different cultures around the world.

By telling stories that emotionally resonate, we can influence others to do incredible things. The storyteller sets the vision, values and agenda of an entire generation that is to come. Steve Jobs.

For profit organizations have no inspiring story to tell. When your goal is to make money for the sake of making money and your dream only extends to making more money, what role can you play in the story other than the villain?

Purpose driven organizations offer ample storytelling opportunities because their purpose is the story and their staff are the heroes who all want to be part of the movement that benefits society. That type of environment fosters trust, collaboration and innovation.

Purpose allows for storytelling.

Storytellings let you influence.

Influence is the key to success.

Author's Opinion 2

Extract from: Rotary Voices: Stories of service from around the world by Kiran Singh Sirah 2022

In today’s world, I think we get a little too caught up in the hard facts of metrics. Statistics and measurable outcomes are great, but these tools can’t capture the cumulative and long-term impacts that peacebuilding and storytelling can have. At ISC, we often measure the impact of a particular program on the participants.

There are questionnaires and other tools we can use to do this. But that information can’t reflect the big picture of what those participants then go on to contribute in families, schools, workplaces, and wider communities. These are returns on investment that unfold over lifetimes.

I’m still learning from the stories that my parents, teachers, and other mentors shared with me when I was very young. I think about them all the time! I think when we share a story, we don’t necessarily know the impact it will have on someone else. There’s a lot about this work that’s unknowable, but that doesn’t mean the work isn’t taking place.

Stories are living things that shape our understanding and drive us to act. I think of storytelling and peacebuilding as wide and nebulous movements that we can all be part of and contribute to and benefit from.

You don’t have to work to end all wars, everywhere. You can just do a little bit every day to make your community a better place to live, and go from there.
