Storytelling is a powerful way to help us find personal meaning within a shared context, engage us in a journey and giving us a reason to believe.

By sharing inspiring stories that illustrate the desired changes you’re striving to make, you’ll give people a personal role to identify with and the motivation to change.

Yes, it’s an art; a skill; but with practise and focus you can achieve great things using stories.

 

In the work environment we often tell out story by the water cooler, via power point or in a meeting,  so we have written this article to reflect the work scenario. 

 

Bullet points do not inspire... stories do! The boss of Amazon has banned Power Points in meetings as they do not engage. He encourages story telling. 

Here’s five things not to do when creating and telling your stories in the work scenario of meetings presentations or public speaking!

Warp It’s founder, Daniel, was talking to Jonathan Latko from Temple University in Philadelphia about how he made a business case for the development of surplus asset reuse in the university.

One of the most striking things he shared was how he would look at an existing process and do a time-motion study on it.
