Award winning journalists, marketing gurus and leadership experts have gathered in Bucharest for the fourth edition of the international conference The Power of Storytelling<\/a>. They shared craft tips, writing advice and personal stories.
\nHere are the main takeaways from day one:<\/p>\n

Jacqui Banaszynski<\/strong> opened by talking about the importance of using all of our senses when reporting.<\/p>\n

\u201eSenses are a very important part of the way we report. A recent study says that only 25% of the way we communicate as human beings come from how we speak. Body language, tone of voice, how we move, it\u2019s the things we don\u2019t say when we speak, the stuff that exists between the silences.<\/p>\n

As a result, when we do this work, we have to pay attention to our senses, not just to the sense of sound, but the sense of sight, of touch, of taste, of smell. And the most important one, the sixth sense: emotion. Emotional intelligence. That part of yourself that is uniquely human.\u201d<\/p>\n
