Beyond the Template: Storytelling Through Presentations

Bulleted facts and analysis can inform people, but they don’t inspire them to act. That’s because our brains are hardwired for narrative. It’s how we process the world and effect change around us. People are also much more likely to recall and retain information when it’s presented as a story rather than in bullet points projected onto a screen, neuroscientists have found.

Too often, however, PowerPoint presentations follow the painful “title-bullet-bullet” format, one we have all grown to dread. It doesn’t have to be this way. When done right, presentations are a visual communication tool with the power to change minds, hearts and behaviors through the power of storytelling. And harnessing this tool is surprisingly simple: It starts with stepping beyond the template to set up your story with intention and purpose.
