Storytelling

🤔 How effective is your storytelling?

💯 We've all be told to use storytelling in our presentations, pitches or talks to make them more memorable and impactful.

💡 Think how many times you have to pitch an idea or proposal in business.

💡 For many leaders and managers it's likely to be a regular occurrence.

💡 You are expected to challenge the norm, create ideas for growth and take ownership of your teams actions.

Storytelling is a powerful tool, consider these 3 points when you next pitch :

🎯 Hook your Audience - be provocative and surprising - challenge the audience.

🎯 Heart of the Matter - use a personal story or anecdote to activate the emotions of your audience.

🎯 Call to Action - Create a memorable ending and be clear on what the audience need to know or do.

💯 I'm lucky to live with a writer who is regularly coming up with new stories.

📚 In fact, here's an image of my wife's latest new book - "The Extraordinary Case of the Myanmar Rubies" - it's aimed at children aged 8 to 12 years - but of course we are all young at heart and if you like a rip roaring mystery adventure have a read - link is in the comments.
