7 Ways To Implement Storytelling Today...

Story can be used in any kind of organization at any level and with any audience. Here are 7 ways that you can immediately begin practicing the art of storytelling in your own work.

1. Keep notepad handy to jot down examples of "people caught doing things right," as David Armstrong refers to the success stories he tells.

2. Develop a catchy title for each story so as to grab people's attention at the very
beginning.

3. Incorporate stories in your regular communications, for example, memos, reports,
presentations, and meetings.

4. Set a date with your work team to identify stories that exemplify the value of your
collective contribution to corporate goals.

5. Share stories in your regularly schedule meetings.

6. Ask for feedback on your storytelling skills - or hire a coach - to hone your delivery.

7. Continually collect new stories so you always have fresh tales to supplement the
legends.
