Lovely when manipulation, propaganda, disinformation, advertising are considered good, to effectively get others to change as you want by hearing their story.

I just went to Kent State today to try and get people to sign on for government positions. I come from a literary background. I cannot wait to use these techniques!!!

I’m still trying to figure out why a modern woman insists on speaking in old-school pulpit oratory ’70s jive affect qua rhythmic performative street rap cadence, like some graduate of the Queen Latifah MC Lyft finishing school for hoodrats in pastel suits; that’s a story I can’t overcome.

Protect your mind from background agenda-driven ‘stories’ and storytellers.

I don’t always commit 12minutes to a TED Talk, but I do want to be a good storyteller.
Kelly isn’t just presenting… she is connecting.

“Stories are proven to affect behavior!” — I love the message but I just remember that one moment where so many people just went, “I have no enemies” after that vinland saga scene.

I loved this talk. I watched it more than twice to learn from it.
Essence:
1.understand your audience (specific)
2. Paint a picture using wording and images of your audience
3. Propose
Choose a good timing. You need to give, before you ask. So that, when your proposal comes, the ground is ready. The other is already waiting for your proposal.
