I love to hear other speakers explain the same message I share in their different unique way. Karen does this beautifully and even though I think I know this stuff, I still get to learn from how she explains it.
Love this! Fascinating insights on the power of storytelling. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks!
Karen, you illustrated the power of storytelling brilliantly. An informative and inspiring talk. Thank you!
Fantastic as always @Karen. Sharing stories is the way to include audience on our message.
Very true! Storytelling influences, teaches, and inspires. It is a powerful way to touch emotions and truly move an audience :)
Simply brilliant.... One of my favourite TED talks.... Thank you Karen❤️
This is fantastic. The relationship between storytelling and neurology is enlightening!
Thank you Mani! I feel like once you understand what stories do neurologically, it is a no brainer in using them. Pun intended. ;)

This is Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.
Karen is so talented and brilliant!
Don't be allergic to storytelling! Your brain lights up and gives the data you preach real emotional connections. Thanks for an inspiring talk Karen!
Thank you Roti!
This is the most helpful info on storytelling that I have found to date!
This is a great concept! Touching upon emotions is one of the keys to knowing how to connect with each other. Good wisdom for everyone to implement on a daily basis. Thank you for the wisdom!
You hit on it exactly Joyce. We are emotional creatures. Connecting through story is such a powerful way to communicate.
Well done! Relevant, relatable, fun and inspirational! Appreciate the insights!
Thank you Cathy!
One of my teachers said that attention and love are the same thing to most people. This is especially true for children. When the little kid says "Mommy Mommy watch me swing!" Even though she has seen it twenty six times in the past twelve minutes, the child is asking "do you love me?" If you simply acknowledge someone through something as small as a smile, you can make their day. Never underestimate the power of a smile. I have seen it flip people's days around, mine included.
I work with children a lot for my job, and this had made it far better. I understand what the kids are asking, and can make their whole experience better. When I smile at a child (especially younger ones), they are able to see me as friendly and fun. If you smile at the crying child in front of you in the checkout aisle, they will likely stop and hide behind mom, as they will feel shy.
Find common ground between you and coworkers. Talk to them, even if it is kind of awkward at first. I ask my coworkers about their hobbies and interests, and they will talk about stuff endlessly. And it is wonderful. Sometimes they go on about something you have no interest in, others end with a college lecture. It is beautiful.
So many great nuggets of wisdom that can be implemented in both professional and personal scenarios. Thanks, Karen! You are a storyteller extraordinaire!
Thank you Tatiana!
Don't take the perfect story, take your story and make it perfect ...what a lovely line to end!Awesome Session..
Excellent presentation. People told stories before they invented numbers.
Thank you for demonstrating why and how storytelling and sharing data are complementary! More storytelling would make our lives so much more interesting
Thank you Carol!

Storytelling crystalizes the true meaning of what we are trying to do or accomplish.
So true!
Storytelling, such a powerful communication tool!
My personal favorite...

Thank you for sharing with others!
Our students at have had a very enthusiastic response to Karen's presentations about how storytelling can help the results of your data analysis make a bigger impact.
Thank you! I love how the Data Mine is increasing everyone’s savviness around the use and communication of data.
سألتها : لماذا احببتيني؟
ف قالت :أما وﷲ اني كنت للحب كارهاً
ولكنني ابتليت بك بلاء جميلا
فأﷲ أراد.... والقلب أطاع ♥️

Thanks for your comment Brad. I agree. Many people are leaders are hesitant to use stories. Not knowing where to find them or how to tell them. But I have case studies that show when you lean into them, you are more engagement and better performance!
Love this. The ballad of story and data when they come together ❤️ Karen Eber
This is maybe why pastors tell a story during their sermons; to engage more parts of the brain, and aid in retention.
Speed x2.
Its more powerful not trustworthy. There are misleading stories told all the time. Who has not witnessed someone telling their story and even though its filled with elements of truth it is ultimately misleading. Storytelling is only trustworthy if it points to something that is true. It can be powerful whether its true or not.
Read between the lines people
She makes it seem so easy. It’s not!
Is this what they call narratology
The tranquil lobster temporally disappear because chronometer socially cry but a combative circulation. needy, unique fear
When you say, "data doesn't change your behavior, emotions do."...I wonder if you have studied or worked with engineers?!
I don’t like this. We may all have our own interpretations of the data, but that doesn’t make your’s correct or better than other interpretations. Interpretations are going to have some underlying truth/value claims that we all ought to come to definitive conclusions on through deduction, syllogisms, and fundamental axioms relating to our shared normative ethics. Ie: if we value life, than this is true, making that true, therefore validating this opinion.
Boring
Yes you are
Karen is so talented and brilliant!
