Although I find the following video a little too self-adverstising, and the first 30 seconds are basically a not-to-click teaser, I urge you to go beyond this initial downer.
Because: the essence of Robert McKee’s take on business story quoted here is actually worth inhaling:
- Allow the positive AND the negative!
-
Don’t be afraid of EMOTIONS! All decisions, no matter how rational, cause change. And change causes emotion.
-
Stories equip us to live. Data and pie charts do NOT!
-
History’s best (or most influential) leaders (political, business, wherever) have been great storytellers, using stories to lead.
Now that’s definitely a good start to creating more meaningful, more convincing, more persuasive content in business communications.
Give it a try!
