Master the Art of Story Selling Success demands the ability to communicate with power, clarity, and emotion. Leaders who can deliver their story with authenticity, humor, and insight are seen as credible, influential, and unforgettable. Storytelling is not just an art—it’s a science rooted in brain chemistry. Story Selling explores how to activate the six key brain chemicals—Adrenaline, Endorphins, Dopamine, Serotonin, Oxytocin, and Cortisol—through strategic storytelling. Drawing from decades of research and speaking experience, Dan Clark reveals how to discover, structure, and deliver stories that resonate deeply and move people to action. More than a guide to public speaking, Story Selling is a blueprint for influence. Whether closing deals, inspiring teams, or building trust, the right story, told well, becomes a leader’s most powerful tool. Story Selling transforms speakers into storytellers—and storytellers into unforgettable leaders.

In 1865, Indiana State University began classes as many other future regional state universities would: as a "normal school," a school that specialized in training teachers, usually in one- or two-year programs. By 1933, Indiana State had won the name Teachers College and had begun offering graduate-level education. In A History of Indiana State University, Dan Clark explores the history of Indiana State's institutional transformation against the backdrop of the amazing expansion of public education and the scope of higher education in the United States during this period. Starting with the origins of the normal school and the need for professional teachers to help construct the educational infrastructure of Indiana, Clark examines how the faculty and students pushed the school to conform to increasingly popular traditional collegiate ideals, broadening their curriculum and student extracurricular life (athletics and Greek life), until by the 1920s Indiana State had transformed itself into a teachers college. A History of Indiana State University offers an invaluable guide to the history of this beloved Indiana institution, and details the underappreciated impact that normal schools had in providing an educational opportunity to less privileged aspiring students.
