Scooped by Karen Dietz onto Just Story It |

Karen Dietz's insight:
Ahhh -- really good insights and points here in this article by Gunther Sonnenfeld that expands our typical ways of working with stories in business (transactional storytelling), and how we need to shift to transformational storytelling.
Stories provide meaning and purpose, as the above text says. Even when told for transactional purposes. But there is no reason for organizations not to also claim the higher ground.
This is a thoughtful article that touches on a few fundamental truths about storytelling, and calling us to think/act more deeply about the story work we do.
And I like the visual chart that comes along with it also!

Nonetheless, there is a powerful sense that the fun of a game and the fun of a story are different in some way. What is that distinction? I love this post because it goes into depth about the nature of play, gaming and story sharing. It's a great romp through the imagination and another facet about why storytelling is so powerful -- whether you are sharing a business story or just sharing a story with friends. I've long said that storytelling is deep play. This article explains the how and why of that. The author talks here about the emotions of play he has identified and how that connects to our imagination -- and the imagination of our listeners when we tell a story. This post is Part 2. Part 1 is about Stories and Games: Art. Can't wait to read that one next! Delete the scoop?

Insightful read that goes deeper on storytelling's appeal.
We talk about how to spread our influence and how to build audience for our message. Story seems to me to be one excellent way for doing that.
The power of stories to help shift our thinking and facilitate real change.
