đ´ 11. Wow any room with stories that stick with Alan Weiss (Weekend rewind)
This episode is a Weekend Rewindâbut not a far rewind.
Just a few days ago, I joined forces with Alan Weiss on our Talk the Walk livestream.
The topic? How to Tell Stories That Stick.
Hereâs what youâll learn (and why youâll love this):
đď¸ Youâll hear Alan share at least five unforgettable stories in just 30 minutes. He proves that great storytelling doesnât need to take agesâitâs all about the right setup, cadence, and hitting that aha moment.
đ Discover why Alan calls himself âlazyâ when it comes to storytelling (and how that laziness is actually a genius hack for speeding up learning).
đĄ Reflect on how you can weave storytelling into your own life and work. Whether you're pitching an idea, coaching someone, or leading a team, stories have the power to bring your message to life and leave a lasting impact.
But hereâs the thingâthis isnât just a âhow-toâ on storytelling. Youâll also hear Alanâs diagnostic approach to consulting, his knack for using triggers to recall stories, and even a laugh-out-loud tale about a sailing mishap.
đ§ A question for you to ponder as you listen:
How could you use stories to make your points more memorable?
Oh, and a quick heads-up: Our next Talk the Walk livestream is on 30 January, 4 PM ET (or 31 January, 7 AM Brisbane time). Mark your calendar and join us liveâitâs free!
Until then, happy storytelling! đ
