Storytellingstorytelling

Storytelling is passing on experience not as an abstract piece of advice but as a lived tale. People often remember a rule better within a story; an event from a mentor's own life sinks deeper than a list of tips. A story carries to the mentee both the knowledge and the context of that knowledge. By telling their own mistakes and how they overcame them, the mentor also lets the mentee feel they are not alone. A well-told experience is often the most lasting lesson.
