Ms.Biz

Episode 48: The power of storytelling: How effectively telling stories can help relate your brand and message to others. Stories are memorable when they evoke emotions, have relatable characters, connect the audience to shared values, and temporarily distract from daily life. When telling stories, it is important to have sensory details, a clear beginning-middle-end structure, and resolution.
Rachel shares how she was motivated to succeed academically after twice failing to qualify for the gifted program as a child. This sparked a drive to prove doubters wrong and achieve at high levels. Brooke discusses facing skepticism when starting her law firm outside of her previous career, motivating her to succeed beyond expectations. They explain how overcoming challenges in life stories builds character and memorability.
Effective stories include: stakes that are serious enough, identifiable characters, clear cause-and-effect between events, and relevance to the audience. Stories should be concise like a toast while hitting three key attributes and backing one with a short relevant anecdote. Superfluous details should be removed. Finally, stories must align with biblical values while maintaining pure intentions of encouragement rather than spite. Overall, storytelling is a powerful tool for businesses, speakers, and building relationships.
