**Do you ever feel like your stories are missing that *wow* factor?**

What if you could turn even the most ordinary moments into stories that *spark* curiosity and leave people wanting more?

**Here’s the key**: *Start with a question.* Questions trigger curiosity, and curiosity keeps your audience engaged. Research in neuroscience shows that when we hear a question, our brain automatically starts searching for an answer. It’s like giving your audience a mental puzzle they can’t resist solving.

**Try this storytelling hack**: Next time you’re about to tell a story, begin with a question that makes your audience *think*. Instead of saying, “I had a tough week,” try, “What would you do if everything you planned went wrong–twice?” This technique hooks people right from the start and invites them to join you on the journey.

**Your action step**: Think of a story you’ll share today. Start with a question that sparks curiosity. Watch how it changes the way people lean in and engage with your story.

Ready to turn everyday moments into *curiosity-filled* stories? Start with a question and watch your audience hang on to every word.
