There are no hard-and-fast rules for brand storytelling, but the classics can guide you. The structure is meant to provide a platform to help you to develop a way to tell your story, or maybe to discover what’s missing from your existing story. It’s not a template for the story — this is an important distinction, because your story will be unique to you, your brand, and the experience you are trying to create.

STORYTELLING
Scoop.it!
Never start a story by saying, "I have a story to tell you." Remove the word 'story' from your vocabulary. Just get straight into telling it. And if you need a way to segue into it, just say you're sharing an example or an experience. In business the word 'story' creates the wrong initial impression. Via Kim Zinke (aka Gimli Goose)

There’s no denying it, storytelling can seem challenging. But I’ve taken the stance that storytelling can be demystified and that anyone can do it.
Read the full article to find five tips for creating a culture of storytelling at your organization: 1. Communicate to all staff members what kind of stories you are looking for 2. Hold a staff meeting to openly discuss what storytelling is, why it matters and why all staff members play a vital role in it 3. Make time at your staff meetings to tell stories. 4. Schedule an ongoing time to casually meet with staff from programs to talk about updates from their work and utilize it as a time to probe into any interesting stories they might have. 5. Start your own story bank for future reference. Via Kim Zinke (aka Gimli Goose)

Everyone loves a good story, so why do so many scientists shy away from story-telling when discussing their work?
If you want people to engage with your science, you need to be asking yourself some important questions. - You need to find out what your story is but even before you can do that you need to think about who your audience is. - To get your message out to as many people as possible, you should also be asking yourself what your audience can do for you. - Who are the stakeholders who are interested in your research and how can you make them pass the message on more widely? - Once you know who your audience is, you need to think about the story. Who are the characters? Where is the emotion? - Something to consider is that the story isn’t necessarily going to be the results of your research.
So, how do you do it? Read the full article to find out more about the questions above and to take the five-step help test for finding your story. Via Kim Zinke (aka Gimli Goose)

According to some fascinating research by Dr. Philip Mazzocco and Melanie Green, called Narrative Persuasion in Legal Settings: What’s the Story?, stories are powerful because of their ability to affect emotional beliefs in a way that logical arguments just can’t touch. The researchers looked at persuasive aspects of stories in the court room, which is certainly one of the hardest places to craft stories, as you have another person (the other lawyer) trying to shoot down your arguments at every turn. From their research, Mazzocco and Green found six consistent elements that are apart of startingly effective stories: 1. Audience 2. Realism 3. Delivery 4. Imagery 5. Structure 6. Context

The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs.
But in How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control.
How Children Succeed introduces us to a new generation of researchers and educators who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character. Through their stories—and the stories of the children they are trying to help—Tough traces the links between childhood stress and life success. He uncovers the surprising ways in which parents do—and do not—prepare their children for adulthood. And he provides us with new insights into how to help children growing up in poverty.
Early adversity, scientists have come to understand, not only affects the conditions of children’s lives, it can also alter the physical development of their brains. But innovative thinkers around the country are now using this knowledge to help children overcome the constraints of poverty. With the right support, as Tough’s extraordinary reporting makes clear, children who grow up in the most painful circumstances can go on to achieve amazing things. This provocative and profoundly hopeful book has the potential to change how we raise our children, how we run our schools, and how we construct our social safety net. It will not only inspire and engage readers, it will also change our understanding of childhood itself.

The idea that a reader is no longer a passive observer and can instead have a direct impact on a story's unfolding and, ultimately, its conclusion, is both powerful and engaging. That same concept parallels what technology can do for storytellers today: bring audiences into the storytelling process, and as a result, heighten engagement and build stronger, more lasting relationships with them.
