I found your take of communicating a strategy through a story is a novel idea, it's simple and it makes sense. It's now got me thinking, what does the physical strategy document look like? Is the story that we communicate verbally a mirror to what we document? What should the official document look like?
Every episode of this podcast is a masterclass and a gift to anyone wanting to super-charge their storytelling.
I’d recommend heading back to the first Episodes which are packed with tips on how to improve as a storyteller, but every episode includes a brilliant story and clear advice on how and where to use it in the workplace.
Thank you Mark and Shawn!
Excellent insights into how story telling can help with sales, leadership and business
The podcasts are fun, informative and delivered in a nice relaxed manner. I almost always add the story to my storybank for future use. But, perhaps the best measure of the impact that they have on me is that 9 times out of 10 I immediately call my wife and share the story with her so she can also use it in her business. Keep up the great work. Cheers! Paul
