Consider this story . . .

“That’s just dumb,” said the Marketing VP.

I was at a conference table with several managers; two were in a heated fight.

They were arguing about the wording on a PowerPoint slide. Bullet #3, slide #27.

“Can I offer an opinion?” I asked. They had invited me to this meeting, after all, to consult.

“The wording of bullet #3,” I said, “doesn’t matter. You’ve got 62 slides in this deck. No one will remember any of these bullets.”

That stopped the fight. They no longer hated each other. Now they hated me.

. . .

Well, that’s the problem with PP slides: they’re easily forgotten. Not so with stories.

Stories capture attention. Your audience sees things, feels things, and most importantly, remembers things.
