Topics
“The
Best-Kept Secret in Business Today”
Nike does it. So do 3M and Armstrong Industries. Even NASA, The
World Bank, and Van Kampen Investments have embraced it. Imagine
being able to capture the attention of even the most distracted
employees or customers and have them accurately recall what you
told them. Imagine being able to quickly and successfully communicate
complex ideas. Imagine being able to inspire people to change—to
try a new behavior, to let go of an old attitude, to embrace the
future, and to take action. What are these organizations doing,
you ask? It’s storytelling. Storytelling is considered by some
to be the most powerful currency in that exists today in human communications.
Learn how using stories can benefit you, your communications with
others, and your organization. Also gain a wealth of ideas on where
you can find and use them and what you need to do to make any story
a great story for use at work. 62KB |

“Let
Me Put It This Way: Using Stories to Impact Performance”
A list of financial projections on a series of PowerPoint slides.
Policies that describe what can and cannot be done. Appraisal forms
that document what needs to change. Much of what is communicated
about organizational and individual performance is done through
writing, often accompanied by a meeting. While these modes of communication
are intended to relay needed information, they may not fully produce
the desired results. Stories, especially those that are compelling
and well constructed, have the unique ability to simultaneously
influence people's thinking, behavior, and emotions. Learn how to
find and select thought-provoking stories that have the ability
to enhance performance, when to use them most effectively, and what
it takes to tell them in a compelling manner. 44KB |
