Storytelling

The best story wins. Not the best idea, or the right idea, or the most rational idea. Just whoever tells a story that catches people’s attention and gets them to nod their heads is the one who tends to be rewarded.

“You can’t change your past, but you can reframe it.

Find the lesson in it. Find the opportunity in it. Pull the teachable moment out of it and share with others.

You can’t choose your history, but you can choose the story you tell about it.”

The weakest stories are those which the storyteller feels are entitled to be believed. No story deserves to be believed. Belief is won.

Storytelling is an art form that invites people along for a ride.

Outcomes pay the bills. Journeys are what stories are written about.
