Have you ever been fired up after seeing someone speak, say at a conference or event? That’s the power of saying something well. In the centuries-old tale Arabian Nights, storyteller Scheherazade avoids execution at the hands of her psycho husband, the king, by spinning engaging tales that end in cliffhangers, thereby enrapturing the king and securing her safety night after night. Talk about an empowered lady! But you don’t have to be Scheherazade or even a TED Talk speaker to impress. The power of storytelling can come in simpler forms.
