Put your story front and center
Why put your story first?
Stories are the backbone of meaningful learning experiences, yet in most training, they are often reduced to brief narratives or minor elements within a larger lesson. Story First Design flips this approach by making the story the driving force of the entire learning experience.
A compelling story captivates learners, creates emotional connections, and provides context that makes information more memorable and actionable. Instead of weaving a small narrative into an otherwise traditional course, Story First Design ensures that every interaction, challenge, and decision is rooted in a rich, immersive story.
This approach deepens engagement, enhances retention, and transforms learning into an experience that feels relevant and impactful. When learners see themselves in the story, they are more invested in the journey—and more likely to apply what they’ve learned in real-world situations.
