#126. TED Talkin’: Karen Eber balances storytelling and data to improve leadership skills

Do you know what your brain looks like on storytelling?  Karen Eber does! A leadership consultant on a mission to help others effectively tell their stories, Eber’s 2020 TED Talk, “How your brain responds to stories—and why they’re crucial for leaders”, dives into the neuroscience behind storytelling.  Karen proves that when used well, data can help emphasize and illustrate your points—not overshadow them.  Having studied the “shape” and patterns that make a good story GREAT, this talk was particularly satisfying for Mikey and Molly to dissect—not to mention, Karen’s A+ presentation skills. There’s something in here for everyone. This is an episode for: the neuroscience + storytelling niche, TED nerds and leaders of all kinds. What's in the Spice Cabinet?? Find more Karen!
