How can you use personalization to create a deeper audience connection?
Our brains are hardwired for storytelling, empathy and mirroring, so much so that when someone else is just talking about something like bacon, research shows that our brain reacts as though we were actually smelling real bacon. (My apologies to vegetarians.) We paint pictures when people talk to us. So, when we hear about your lived experience, your perspective, your opinion, especially if it is rich in detail, we are more open to accepting it, reacting to it and elevating it than if we we heard a generic, generalized platitude. Whatever you think of Mother Theresa and her work, she understood how we see the world when she said, “If I look at the mass, I will never act. If I look at the one, I will.”
