Abstract: Storytelling is touted as an extremely effective medium of communication and selling one’s viewpoint to others. There is a surfeit of resources advocating and teaching storytelling techniques and tools to help sell products and services, attract investors, build organizational brands, cultivate social correctness, build intercultural understanding, run an advertising campaign and express entrepreneurial frames. The predicament of communicating the truth in organizations is frequently between truth-speak and ‘telling a good story or ‘spinning a clever yarn’. Selling ideas, marketing products, obtaining buy-ins from investors can entail ‘stretching the truth’. Recognizing the axiology of this disturbing malaise on one hand and exploring the positive influence that emotional learning through stories can have on the moral, ethical, and character development needs of children, this paper sees an imperative to posit storytelling as a dominant, pedagogic tools to build morals, ethics, character, and capacity for kindness in children.
