Build Empathy With Storytelling

Tysonn Betts, design vice president of global family care at Procter & Gamble, discusses how storytelling affects empathy. We all have different journeys, and sharing our stories is an opportunity for others to understand our perspectives. “Our ability to be able to tell a story is a way to engage with people,” says Tysonn. “It's a way to tap into their emotion. It's a way to be able to lay out a number of breadcrumbs, and if you can do that through a story, you'll probably establish some point of connection with the person you're talking to.” How are you using storytelling to connect with those you lead?
