**Ever wondered why some stories leave you on the edge of your seat while others just fall flat?**
What if there was a way to consistently make your stories gripping and unforgettable?
**Here’s a tip**: *Incorporate unexpected twists.* Our brains crave novelty, and when you introduce an element of surprise, it activates the reward centers in the brain. According to psychology, surprising your audience keeps them engaged and makes your message more memorable.
**Try this storytelling hack**: When crafting your next story, think about how you can introduce a plot twist. Instead of saying, “We faced a challenge and overcame it,” try, “Just when we thought we had everything under control, we encountered a completely unexpected obstacle. This twist tested our resilience and creativity in ways we never imagined.”
**Your action step**: For your next presentation or conversation, plan a surprising twist in your story. Notice how this element of surprise captivates your audience and makes your message stick.
