1. What makes a great story?
2. Why are PowerPoint presentations not doing the job of communication?
3. Google corporate “storytelling”. How many hits did you receive? Scan a few of the sites to get a feel of the importance storytelling is becoming in the world of work.
4. Imagine it is 5 years from today. You have finished any post secondary education.
1. What do you hope your degree/certificate is in?
2. What would be your ideal career?
3. What city?
4. What salary?
5. What company?
6. Imagine you are being interviewed for a career in this career… 5 years from now. The interview has been going well… Suddenly he asks you “What makes you different than any of the other applicants I have interviewed?”… What story would you tell to separate you from the 675 people trying to get the same position at this company? (Remember… beginning, middle and end.)
