Karen Eber: How your brain responds to stories -- and why they're crucial for leaders | TED

[@carolynscott3789]

Had the opportunity to see her in person at a local library today. This video is amazing but the in person experience was even more so. I teach middle school and from the moment Karen first started speaking, I was taking in everything she said and imagining how it could apply to my classes and my ability to help better engage my students so that they can be more successful. You don’t have to want to be a writer to benefit from the ability to become a better storyteller.

[@FoosballwithLinh]

still one of the best ted talks I've ever listened to

[@Imbored1716]

This talk was more educational than all of my science classes combined of this week. True power of storytelling skills

[@jessijoy6088]

i love these meetings , i have 15 years , my language native r is spanish and is very exciting for my to understand interesting topics like this

[@kinsmed]

A simple presentation. But it has the potential to be one of the most powerful. I have a municipal interview tonight. Now I'm confident about ending with an anecdote.

[@annie9924]

Wow, I’m blown away. It’s so true, why leaders don’t tell stories and on Banking side, no one has time to share anything but data. Thank you for a great talk :)

[@Piyussh]

Don't wait for a perfect story, take your story and make it perfect.

[@Imbored1716]

Ohdamnn that's cool.

Quite so! 👌

[@user-rh8hi4ph4b]

I like that she spent a fair portion of her speech clearing the misconception that decisions are made 'either rationally or emotionally'. In reality, our rationality merely fulfills the demands our emotions have already stated beyond our conscious awareness. This hierarchy is so deeply entrenched, you can even observe it when calculating cold math in your head: Solutions 'feel' right, they are satisfying, whereas mistakes are the opposite. Our unconscious emotion rewards or punishes us in each step of our conscious decision making or problem solving process; we are slaves to it yet allowed a soothing illusion of free will.

[@teressarana]

whoa this paragraph is so eloquent ❤

[@gbasandani]

Excellent coordination between sub conscious mind where emotions are stored and conscious mind which is rational by forming a story and make a convincing communication. Wonderful. Love and Grace

[@davidsovereign4958]

SO GOOD. And this is so important for me as a songwriter. Thank you for this.

All my emotions suddenly burst out the moment she said Michelle is her daughter. That's a story teller.

[@saswatinayak7832]

A very good talk on , stories also communicate with the brain.

Trust accomplishes 2 things. 1- taking advantage of a situation in which we provoke. 2- Coordinating behavior of logic within reason of a part of a larger caliber of self well being.

A wise, intelligent Karen! People we need more of this representation!!

[@arlinegeorge6967]

Great talk . Few great leaders are not only expert at the art of story telling but people follow like pipe piper n manipulate for personal gains. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.

Emotions is the scale of life

[@andresencolombia]

I would never forget a company meeting that took place over 20 years ago. The new CEO wanted to reorganise the company and presented us with the story of an hypothetical company which introduced those changes. Few people did understand what it was all about but presented my resignation right after the meeting. The hypothetical company wanted to increase responsibilities with the same salary. In other words modern exploitation. The remarkable thing is that I still remember the details of the story and now I am aware of how powerful it can be to produce change at all levels.

Storytelling is a systematic way of learning and accepting doubt around a circumference within a binary accomplishment of everyday life.

We have been storytellers since the beginning, 200k years humans sitting around a fire listening to others. The stories are still the same.

[@feero9680]

but do people listen to stories the same way?

[@duckmeat4674]

@@feero9680 of course not. That implies we all comprehend a story the same way

That moment when you present a data and fail to convince but your peer tells a story without a data and get a position.

[@Kongolox]

kinda disagree with the data thing... many times we have no clue/feeling of what to do/choose, so data here to help us with that.

[@gabrielnicolae9583]

Well, that was a nice story

[@curlyprivat22]

Well... that explains, why it is so hard to make decisions after trauma. Trauma leaves the amygdala in hightend arousal or leads to dissociation. Ofc. you can't make decisions in either of those states - being it your amygdala overfiring or simple inability to feel. Oh boi.

[@BADALICE]

Once upon a time, there were those not unlike you, that rose to an occasion, and lived happily ever after. Tradgedy they called it for those that failed.

As a strange overly rational person, I prefer that you explain things with logic over stories.

[@daniellesebire2508]

Kind of shocking it needs to be pointed out to people they need to recognise and care about the people around them and this is spun as a self serving leadership technique.

[@blakebeaton8410]

The myth that people need 8 glasses of water per day is based on data that was misapplied and misinterpreted. You do not need to feel guilty about... One day Johnny forgot to drink 8 glasses of water per day. He didn't feel guilty at all. It was wonderful. The end.
