A high-impact story begins with curiosity

As a leader, how do you tell a high-impact story? A story that grabs people’s attention? Do you need more pizzazz? More song and dance? While that helps, you can also think about the sequencing of fact and emotion in order to arouse curiosity. When people are thinking and guessing along with you, their curiosity is engaged and you have their attention.

Learn three rules for keeping your audience’s attention engaged.
