Great stories require structure. You might not realize it, but every story that has entertained you, informed you and stuck with you over the years follows a similar structure. To reach your biggest audience, your company’s story needs the same kind of structure. This, in a nutshell, is what Donald Miller’s How to Tell a Story is all about.
We continue our multi-part review of How to Tell a Story in this episode. Host and business coach Tom Ryan and co-host/producer Jason Pyles talk about the ways effective storytelling can enhance every part of your business, from increasing sales to wowing potential investors.
