Have you ever shared a brilliant idea only to watch it fall flat—while someone else’s story stole the spotlight? In this fascinating episode of Her Boss Brain, Pallavi Jain sits down with Karen Eber, award-winning author of The Perfect Story, TED Speaker, and CEO of Eber Leadership Group, to unpack the science and strategy behind storytelling.
Together, they explore how stories literally reshape the brain—building empathy, influencing decisions, and transforming how leaders connect and communicate. Karen reveals how to use storytelling not only to engage others, but to rewrite your inner narrative, boost confidence, and reduce burnout.
From neuroscience to practical leadership advice, this episode shows why data alone doesn’t move people—emotion does. You’ll learn how to turn everyday moments into stories that inspire action, create belonging, and activate your boss brain.
