EIII - Storytelling Model

Cutting corners or changing your mindset midstream causes variations in your storyline. Variations cause changes in your readers, listeners, and business partners. Changes occur to their emotional associations, their knowledge connections, and their application abilities. OK, OK, that’s the boring interpretation…Where’s the creativity, the ingenuity, the inspiration…where is the story?

Think of three simple words when trying to tell a great story, Evoke, Engage, and Empower.
* Evoke emotions from your audience as quickly as possible. This allows them to associate with what you are sharing.

* Engage your listeners in the activities within your story. This connects their emotions and past knowledge to your key points and encourages a transfer into their memory.

* Empower your partners to use their new knowledge. This will grow your story and allow it to take form outside your own experiences.

Simple, huh? It is…try it in your next story…
