I agree, Michele. Sometimes people get so wrapped up in the story and telling it that they forget it needs to have practical advice, takeaways, and a reason driving it in the first place.
Absolutely, Bette! Sharing a story — particularly on behalf of our business — needs to be a strategic undertaking. We should always ask ourselves, "What point am I trying to make with this and why will it matter to my audience?" Storytelling is a powerful tool for making meaningful connections. However, it takes a lot of practice to learn how to harness that power so that it can be used effectively.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post! I really appreciate it!
Um... first, your GIF game is strong. haha
Totally agree... "Great stories do more than entertain."
Great piece!
Ha! I probably spend WAY too much time on my GIF game! It's a total rabbit hole for me! :-)
