The other day I came across a story in The New York Times Magazine<\/em> about Google\u2019s mission to build better teams in the workplace. Google found that the best teams aren\u2019t necessarily formed when great minds come together. But rather when co-workers feel \u201cpsychologically safe\u201d with one another.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s something Google manager Matt Sakaguchi discovered first-hand after a survey showed not all of his employees felt fulfilled at work. Matt met with his team outside the office to go over the survey results. He asked his employees to open up by sharing something personal and kicked things off with a revelation of his own.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think one of the things most people don\u2019t know about me is that I have Stage 4 cancer,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

His team was stunned. Apparently Matt had been undergoing treatment for quite some time. They had no idea. Matt\u2019s story turned out to be a lightning-bolt moment. Others on the team shared deeply personal stories too. By the end of the outing, they could discuss their work grievances with greater ease, hopefully solving some of the issues that the survey uncovered.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a scientific reason that Matt\u2019s team responded so positively to his story. Did you know that stories can actually affect your brain\u2019s activity? Dr. Uri Hasson, a neuroscientist at Princeton University, has studied the impact of storytelling on the brain using functional MRIs. He found that when people listen to stories, their brain actually \u201csynchs up\u201d with the storyteller\u2019s brain. In other words, the listener and storyteller feel the same things. Heartache, surprise, joy. It\u2019s called \u201cneural coupling.\u201d No wonder Guideposts<\/em> stories<\/a> so often move readers to tears!<\/p>\n

\u201cStories alter brain chemistry that in turn triggers empathy in your audience,\u201d writes Carmine Gallo, author of The Storyteller\u2019s Secret<\/em>, in a recent Business Insider<\/em> article. \u201cWhen the brain hears a compelling personal story, it triggers a rush of chemicals including dopamine, cortisol and oxytocin, the ‘love molecule’ that makes us feel empathy for another person.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen countless times just what storytelling can do\u2014whenever I work with an author on a Guideposts<\/em><\/a> or Mysterious Ways<\/em><\/a> story. To have someone truly understand what you\u2019re going through, so much so that their brain synchs up with your own? That\u2019s powerful stuff. Yet another tool God\u2019s given us to connect with one another.<\/p>\n

So keep on telling your stories. They just might help you heal or inspire someone else. And that\u2019s a wondrous thing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
