In this week’s video blog our expert guide, Don Hadley, discusses the importance of families telling stories.

Readers Digest published an article about how family stories play a vital part of children’s development. Not only are these children better able to communicate but they are also better able to understand emotions and have higher self-esteem, which can lead to increased coping skills.

Whether it is a family or business, make sure you are telling your people (family or teams) about your heritage, the past, and their history. By sharing the stories, you are able to get to the heart and add value to today.

• Are you using your stories effectively?

• Does your organization have stories that will engage its employees?

• How can you leaders and employees work to create and share new stories?
