To answer this I have put together a list of the seven types of stories that you can use depending on your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Your Purpose<\/strong> Story<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

So many companies talk about what they do and how they do it but miss out WHY<\/strong> they do it. Capturing the businesses \u2018why\u2019 is often where a compelling story can be found. Use your \u2018Why\u2019 story for new business meetings, to explain the purpose of your company to new staff and to remind everyone why you are in the business you are in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Your Risk <\/strong>Story<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Business leaders take risks and every risk has its story, be it success or failure. Either way, these stories tell us about the kind of leader who is at the helm so choose this story if you want to demonstrate how you operate under pressure and how you manage risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Your Vision <\/strong>Story<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Giving people a window through which to view how your company will look in the future will go a long way in helping them understand your strategy and what part they will play in realising your goals. A vision story is a perfect way to make your thinking tangible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Your Customer <\/strong>Story<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Get your customers to do the heavy lifting by sharing their stories of where they see the value you add. When we hear these told from the customer\u2019s point of view they become more authentic and therefore people are more willing to share them. Or <\/em>read this blog<\/em><\/a> for 3 online tools that will sky rocket your own content.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Your Launch<\/strong> Story<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Whether your business is an online retailer, a tech start-up or a global enterprise you had a launch: a deadline, a day when you went live. Share the story of your journey from humble beginnings and bring to life what you are capable of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) Your Founder<\/strong> Story<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

So many businesses fail to mention the founders, even when they are still running the business. You may be humble but people want to hear the story of how and why you started the business, the hurdles you faced and what you learned on the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7) Your Leadership<\/strong> Story<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Your leadership story can help you guide an organisation. So at your next boardroom meeting you can use the power of story to demonstrate how your leadership skills have avoided potential storms, created new opportunities and put the organisation in better stead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200dWe believe in simplicity. It\u2019s proven to be beneficial. Especially in a complex world where new ideas need to be explained.

Like all these things, it starts with a conversation. So let\u2019s talk.
