Stories light up our brains and fire our neurons in the same way as an actual physical action would. That’s because emotion trumps rationality.
Having a well-crafted story for your business will have an impact on its success. In this module you’ll be looking at the make-up of a well-crafted story, its structure and the function of the various parts.
