Storytelling for Meaningful Learning

How can we make learning more interesting and memorable for our learners? Learners often have an easier time retaining concepts when they’re woven into a compelling narrative. In his 1:45 min video clip introduction, Paul A. Smith, Storytelling Coach and author of, “Lead with a Story” and “10 Stories Great Leaders Tell,” talks about the importance of the story. Paul shares how we can begin to build engaging training content by using essential storytelling techniques.

Storytelling in its many varied forms opens up dialogue to allow for sharing including providing analogies and making connections to prior and new learning while inviting the sharing and discussion of other’s perspectives and lived experiences.

Consider how you can choose the right story to tell in the right situation, as well as, how to structure your story. Also, how you can incorporate emotion, surprise, and humor into your training to make the content more fun, relatable, and transformative for your learners.
