Storytelling for Business: Turning Everyday Events into Powerful Teaching Stories

Can you look at the world through the eyes of a storyteller? I say yes, and in so doing, you uncover stories absolutely everywhere.

Storytelling for business is a powerful human connection tool you can start using right away. My chickens teach marketing lessons all the time, for those who have eyes to see them, and since I do, I can share their “wisdom” with you. When I am at a restaurant or out running errands, there are stories everywhere.

Here is an example.  In the video below, I’m sharing a story about my chickens. They have some things to share…

We have 12 nest boxes for the hens to use for egg-laying. Several of them liked the corner rather than the boxes, and they would line up in order to have a go at the corner – even though there were 10 or 11 empty nests waiting to receive their precious eggs.

So even though they had abundance all around them, the hens insisted they HAD to wait for the corner. They wouldn’t partake of the abundant nests around them.

Are YOU making a similar mistake? Are you so convinced that you have to do it this way or you have to wait for good things to happen that you fail to notice ample opportunities around you?

That is how you can take an everyday event … well for me that’s everyday. Your examples will probably be less rural … and turn it into a teaching story you can use for storytelling for business.
