Storytelling     Challenge and Selection     As a startup founder , I have to use storytelling on a daily basis but I feel I have room for   serious improvement . As someone who is generally very logical , my instinct is to take the   conversation down the road of facts and objectivity .     I chose storytelling in order to reinforce the principles to myself and continue improving this   skill . From team conversations , to sales and investor pitches , I am required to craft and tell   compelling stories .      People are busy and have little patience for average ideas ( or even good ideas told badly ) .     Application     During a startup incubator challenge , I was tasked with managing both technical and   non - technical team members . With my background , I have a rough understanding of tech   and thus became tasked with ensuring the two parts of the team were aligned .     Translating messages from both sides and helping to guide the product strategy before   frustration . The business team would ask to build feature x and the tech team would respond   with saying x was not a good idea , let ’s build y.     For weeks I tried to rationally come to a solution between the two parties with no success .      Eventually I switched to a storytelling method of relating every proposed featured to a story   that a fictional user would endure when using the product . Using tension points and   suspense , I managed to align the two teams and find common ground which was making the   users life better .     Insight and Approach     Like magic , we understood WHY we were doing this . We wanted to make our target user ’s   life easier . My storytelling approach put this common goal in the front of my team ’s minds .     I created multiple mental images . A troubling present moment and a depressing world that   exists without our progress , and on the flip side a beautiful future that we could co - create .     I gave each member a role in the story , they became a character in the same world as our   customers and other stakeholders . With this new mindset , they were transformed for   workers into a team that understood the importance of their individual roles .     Learnings     Even super intelligent people are not fully rational beings .     Facts and figures are not persuasive , even when presented beautifully . 

 We need compelling stories of one , not facts of many .      I will ensure all of my team takes a storytelling course to ensure they know at least the basic   structure of the hero ’s journey and how to hook the listener into their message .
