**Did you know that the right character can make your story unforgettable?**
Hey! Ever heard a story that stayed with you mainly because of a character who seemed to jump right off the page (or screen)?
**Here’s why characters matter**: In storytelling, whether in business or personal communication, characters serve as emotional anchors for the audience. Neuroscience suggests that when we identify with a character, our brain releases oxytocin, enhancing empathy and deepening our connection to the story.
**Try this storytelling tool**: Next time you need to convey a message or a lesson, think about wrapping it around a character your audience can relate to or admire. This could be a real person, an archetype, or even a metaphorical character representing broader concepts.
**Your action step**: Identify a key point you want to communicate in your next presentation or meeting. Create a character who embodies this point. Introduce your audience to this character’s challenges and triumphs as a way to illustrate your message. Watch how this human element transforms the engagement level.
