The power of storytelling at work - Microsoft Storytelling presents a conversation with Ian Sanders
Earlier this week I was a guest speaker for Microsoft's global community of storytellers: people across the organisation who are passionate about the power of storytelling.
In this session - watch the video below - I share my lifelong passion for storytelling, shining a light on some of my favourite examples and exploring how each of us can leverage the power of stories in our work life:
The magnetising power of stories - with examples from Gran Cerdo and Hiut Denim
How stories change how we feel - with an example from Humans Of New York
How good stories come from being curious - with examples from the BBC World Service radio series ‘Where Are You Going?’ and the ‘Story Safari’ I designed for my BBC workshop
Why zooming-in-tight is a good principle, how to tell the macro through the micro.
The benefits of sharing our personal stories at work, building empathy and team spirit.
How to stay creative and curious when we are working at home during the pandemic
A recap: Ian’s 10 storytelling tips for 2021
