Description
In today's connection economy, the most successful leaders inspire their people with purpose and meaning. Powerful corporate storytelling can mobilise people around an organisational objective in a way that a focus on market share never will. Be it a digital transformation or a diversity and inclusion initiative, corporate change needs the support of the people in that organisation in order to stick.
Yet, while all stories can move people to take action, storytelling isn't a one size fits all. The most effective influencers learn to flex their narrative based on the audience's time or their level of expertise.
A story that works on the stage doesn't work in the boardroom
A story that works in the boardroom doesn't work in a team meeting
A story that works in a team meeting doesn't work in a one-to-one conversation
A story that works in one-to-one conversation doesn't work in sales...

This right here is a very practical and easy to read book on the importance of not just telling stories but more in how we tell the stories and the audience response to our stories. I love how the author looks at corporate story telling and shares case studies to show what worked and what did not.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

I was reluctant at first, seeing this book on NetGalley, and being a storytelling instructor and practitioner, but a veeeeery distant view at the corporate world and liberal markets (though, I have enough experience in and with them to know what is going on). I then starting hearing about the author’s work, and decided to request this book in the hopes that a) I can expand and refresh my general understanding of some sectors and the use of storytelling in them, b) I can find interesting ideas about storytelling because it is a personal and professional favourite of mine.
Sharma knows how to tell a story, how to tell people to tell strategic stories and how to deliver these in a great way.
This is a very informative and engaging book. I do not expect a deeper and layered book on this topic; though I have confidence in Sharma that any niches, nuanced and subtle topics about strategic marketing, brand storytelling, storytelling, she can deliver them.
I recommend it to everyone.
