"description": "A storytelling framework that takes the audience on an emotional journey of change and growth. Show where things started, the obstacle that forced a change, the path taken and the obstacles overcome, the turning point, and the improved reality with the lessons it taught. The tone is narrative: it builds an emotional arc and invites the audience to identify with the protagonist, whether that is a customer, a team, or the company itself. Best for case studies, brand stories, and change management; typical decks run 5-10 slides (brand story, startup pitch, culture deck, change story).",
