Did You Know
Delivering your opening as a compelling story can win the case for you. Stories are deeply embedded in our histories as effective ways to communicate information. What was the last thing you liked to hear before you were tucked in to bed? How did Aristotle communicate with his completely uneducated audiences? Why do we go to movies? How did Aesop communicate lofty principles? Stories provide a structure and framework for facts that increase understanding and memory. Remember, whoever tells the best story wins!
