Ever wonder why a good story gives you chills or makes you tear up? It's all in your brain chemistry.
When we hear a compelling story, our brains release oxytocin—the "feel-good" hormone. It fosters empathy and connection. Unlike raw data, which activates only the language-processing part of our brain, stories light up multiple regions, making them more impactful and memorable.
This is why, in business, storytelling can transform a dull presentation into an unforgettable experience. It’s not just about sharing information; it’s about creating a human connection.

Ever witnessed a workshop spiral out of control and wondered—Should I step in or let it play out?
Facilitation isn’t just about keeping time or filling whiteboards—it’s about knowing exactly when to intervene and when to step back. And trust me, that line is razor-thin.
I found myself on that tightrope during a particularly heated workshop between business leaders and tech experts, when I was a rookie facilitator years ago. The tension was real, and within minutes, things went from structured to stormy. Voices clashed, frustrations surfaced—so what did I do next?
Did I step in early to calm the room—or wait and risk total chaos? The decision I made in that moment changed everything—and it’s a lesson I’ll never forget.
Curious how it played out—and how you can master that delicate balance?
