We’ve been lucky enough to work on some really fun storytelling trainings with folks that aren’t typically thought of as storytellers. These are people in functions that aren’t consumer or customer-facing, like R&D or HR. Storytelling is just as powerful for them to communicate more effectively, but it’s also less familiar for them.
Pair Data Points With People Points
One of the things that’s a little bit of a struggle is that they have a strong need to communicate data points, but those alone can become boring lists. As a result, one of the first things we teach them is to pair every data point with a people point to help it come alive. Check out the video to see a bit more about what I mean.
