Mastering the Anecdote

Craft Story that Drives Action

In this session, the team will learn how to turn boring workplace stories into compelling narratives that capture the audience’s attention. Often, stories told without preparation lose the listener due to poor structure, lengthy details, or lack of purpose. This session teaches the team how to create engaging openings, build a seamless narrative flow, deliver emotional impact, and convey a clear takeaway message.

Outcomes

This session prepares the team for their next storytelling opportunity, coaching them on:

• Constructing a memorable structure: A narrative sequence that is easy to remember and helps the listener’s brain to organize the key moments of the story.
• Getting the audience to lean in: The ability to naturally incorporate rising action that builds intrigue right from the beginning, leading to a pivot point and ultimately to a resolution that satisfies the listeners.
• Making compelling choices: The flexibility to creatively shape the protagonist, world details, dramatic moments, and more based on the unique story being told.
• Adapting to meet the storytelling moment: This approach can be applied to a range of common personal and organizational story opportunities, such as project case studies, career journeys, and life lessons.
