Storytelling is the art of telling stories. We all love stories. Stories affirm who we are. We all want affirmations that our lives have meaning. And nothing does a greater affirmation than when we connect through stories. It can cross the barriers of time, past, present and future, and allow us to experience the similarities between ourselves and through others, real and imagined. The construction of sense is determined by webs of significance that we spin through our lives and building on the experiences and problems that we solve. Intertextuality is the node where a meaning is grouped with other, it is the link with other texts and the richness, both of interpretation and creation Carbonell, Bringing training close to the most immediate context in which our users live is vital.

Until they decide to move onto the next story. Now, as small businesses, it would be very rare to have the kind of marketing budget that allowed you just to focus on telling one part of your story. If you think about the things you do with your customers, you probably tell them stories about different parts of your business. You talk about your products. You talk about your team.
