How can storytelling improve employee engagement?

Storytelling humanizes the workplace. When employees hear real, resonant stories — not just stats or slogans — they feel seen, connected, and more committed. Stories break down silos, reinforce values, and activate empathy. When leaders model storytelling, they give teams permission to show up more fully, leading to increased trust and motivation.

What are strategic ways to use narrative in DEI communications?

Effective DEI storytelling centers context, complexity, and lived experience. It’s not about spotlighting a single “success story” — it’s about telling the truth in ways that invite reflection, shared ownership, and action. Use narrative to surface invisible labor, challenge mirrortocracy, and highlight pathways to equity that are both personal and systemic.
