WHY STORIES?

Because they work.

Through millions of years of evolution, the human brain has evolved a highly efficient attentional system. Learn how it works and dramatically increase your persuasive abilities—in one inspiring, energizing session.

Because they work.

Nobel-prize winning research(1) shows that every decision we make is ultimately emotional. On top of that, we easily remember information that we can attach feelings to, and quickly forget that which doesn’t inspire feeling. Furthermore, introducing quantitative information prematurely actually prevents us from forming the emotional connection that makes messages stick.(2)

The universal problem

So much business communication fails to convince, persuade—or even be remembered—because it introduces the wrong information at the wrong time. Whether you’re in sales, recruiting, marketing, management, or investor relations, you need to get your message to break through—and stick.

There’s one way to do this effectively almost 100% of the time: tell a great story.

One powerful solution

No matter the medium, telling the perfect story captivates your audience, earns their trust, sticks over 600% better(3), and inspires them to take action.

As a board, we needed to tell our story better to meet our goals and uncover additional opportunities. Rustle & Spark conducted a STORY training that was interactive, knowledgeable, and energetic. After the session, we were better equipped to achieve our long-range plans.
