To reinforce the importance of stories and storytelling, take a look at all of the storytellers around you.
I was at a block buster movie recently (another example of a story in our modern world) and it was packed. Everyone wanted to experience the latest story. This got me thinking. I am not so different from the next guy and I know that I would love to write the next great epic movie or book. The commonality of this desire was born out when I met with a colleague recently and he said that one of his dreams would be to finish the book that he already was 1/3rd of the way through writing. I don’t believe that he and I are alone. I think that many of us want to be storytellers.
Now, granted, I am a storyteller at least in my keynote programs and training sessions. But, I would still like to be able to write fiction and tell the next great tale. And, as I mentioned in a previous post, there seems to be an evolutionary reason for this.
I would like to propose the following premise: We are all storytellers.
So, here are 2 great questions:
What story is your life telling?
and
What story is your business, company or organization telling?
In both cases, I wish for you that your story is compelling, remarkable and fun!
More to come…
