How to Use Storytelling as a Leadership Tool - Forbes

How to Use Storytelling as a Leadership Tool - Forbes | Just Story It | Scoop.it
Paul Smith I recently spoke to Paul Smith, who is a consumer research executive, keynote speaker, corporate trainer, and author of Lead with a Story: A Guide to Crafting Business Narratives that Captivate, Convince, and Inspire (AMACOM Books, August,...


I've been following Dan Schawbel for years and was delighted to find that he recently interviewed colleague Paul Smith at Proctor and Gamble about his new book on storytelling and leadership titled Lead With A Story.


This interview with Paul that Dan conducted is chock full of good information about the need for leaders to develop storytelling as a core competence. And tips on how companies can make storytelling part of their leadership practices.


What I love about Paul's book is his identification of 21 common leadership challenges where storytelling can help. He based his conclusions on his interviews with 75+ CEOs and executives at companies around the world.


If you want to know more about storytelling and leadership, read this article and then get the book (I have no affiliation with Paul or his publisher).


You will have more tools at your disposal than when you started!

Wow! Talk about authenticity! Do you have the guts to do what this guy did with your resume? Well, I'm thinking about it.


I don't know how this worked, but frankly it is wonderfully refreshing. And I think any employer who would discount this is crazy. But then again, that's me :)


Enjoy reading this piece on this lovely Friday -- and get inspired!

7 Cool Resumes We Found On Pinterest -- New App for Visual Storytelling

7 Cool Resumes We Found On Pinterest -- New App for Visual Storytelling | Just Story It | Scoop.it
It's the newest job search tool. The visual nature of Pinterest, which allows users to create virtual boards onto which they can pin images, is perfect for showing prospective employers what you've done so far.


What a cool post! I don't know how pervasive visual storied resumes will become, but if you are in certain creative and technical fields, this could be right up your alley. Or if you want to stand out in any crowd of job applicants!


These are very creative examples of how job seekers are storifying and visualizing their resumes. You can do this too! 


For non-job seekers: think about turning your 'resume' into a visual story that you can use on your "About Us" page, or add it into your printed promo material. It could really make you stand out and be fun to boot!


Are these technically stories? Eh -- maybe yes, maybe no. But at the very least they are using storytelling elements.


Enjoy looking at these and I hope you get lots of great ideas for your resume/bio.
