Story Telling or Boring Selling?

Published: 22 February 2021

The old saying of ‘sell don’t tell’ left the room at least 10 years ago and was replaced with ‘Story telling’ an alternative and far more effective practice adopted to share information – a method that shapes our lives, our workplace, and our world.  The stories told leave behind memories which sit with us and shape our opinions, beliefs, and actions.

An organisation’s Grand Narrative is the birthplace of the stories the people within and associated with the organisation share.  The Grand Narrative is best described as the Organising principle that underlines your organisations intent – it is purpose, the organisational dynamic regarding customer-centricity, innovation, values amongst other core traditions and beliefs that will, or have, taken a brand to a place of confidence that others want to cuddle up to and follow.  This ability to build a collective experience through narrative and story provides a much-needed sense of meaning and history to those connected to a brand.

Perfecting the art of Story Telling is essential, because if you're not in charge of your story, someone else is.

Storytelling promotes organisational innovation and personal change, builds confidence in brands and their people, and engages audiences in the most memorable way.
