Storytelling is one of the most fundamental ways that humans connect with each other.

This is how we build faith, we build belief, and we're able to cooperate, and it's through stories

and how we learn about the world.

So it's the most natural way to connect to other people.

And we've heard very famous people say something like,

if you want to know me, you must know my story.

Or Simon Sinic saying things like, people don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it.

And the why is the story. I'm going to do. Good morning, good afternoon and good evening everybody.

Welcome to today's topic here on Twitter spaces.

We're talking about storytelling, why it matters and in a little bit I'm going to have my

friend in LeHanson introduce herself, but in case you're new and you don't know who I am, my name is Chris Doe. I'm a loud introvert.

In a former life, I was a graphic designer, I made commercials and music videos for a living. Now I'm trying to be a better teacher and with that comes my desire to be a better storyteller.

I've set the intention for 2022 to be the year that I improve my storytelling skills.

I'm not saying that in the way that I think I suck at it, but I think there are levels to this game and I'm ready to get to the next level.

I've been doing some deep dives, looking at my own storytelling abilities and

studying that of other master storytellers, and I hope to be sharing what I'm

learning as I learn it with you in real time.

And that's the kind of context I have for today's conversation.

And many of you out there, as a creative entrepreneur, as an artist, as a designer, or whatever field that you're in,

if you can practice the art of storytelling,

which is really basically communication,

you could have stronger relationships
