Your brain doesn’t just hear storiesโit feels them, remembers them, and makes decisions because of them. But not every story resonates.
Why?
Dr. Kendall Havenโs extensive research uncovered a specific sequence your brain naturally seeks:
– A relatable character
– Distinctive character traits
– A specific goal for the character
– Motivation for the character to achieve the goal
– Obstacles that keep the character from achieving the goal
– The stakes if the goal isn’t accomplished
– Sharing the struggle endured by the character in pursuit of the goal
– Highlighting the goal achievement and resolution of the story
Stories crafted in this order are processed faster, remembered longer, and trusted deeply. They transform communication, sales, and leadership effectiveness.
