Award-winning storyteller Kevin Cordi first came to appreciate the power of tales when he worked as a teenage door-to-door salesman. Today, Cordi is the first full-time high school storytelling teacher in the country and a strong believer in the therapeutic value of spinning yarns. "It helps people think through and deal with difficult situations," Cordi says.
Stories also entertain, educate, and instill moral values—sometimes all at once. We can all tell narratives, whether in the classroom, the boardroom, or the living room, but it takes practice to become a fine raconteur. —Brian Andrew
