rodrick rajive lal's insight:

It is all about building a storty telling culture. Tell the story of your success and your failure if you want to connect to a captive audience. I guess brand promotion can get an effective boost through the telling of stories of why they are better than others.

Storytelling is definitely the flavour of the day, not just for content marketers, but also for educators and learners alike! Stories are about making emotive connections, they are about being human and not cyborgs! Making connections is also about being able to "communicate with each other," as the article states, and it is about appreciating another's point of view!
