#128: The Four Pillars of Story for Microsoft's Brand Storytelling

You might not realize it, but right now you are in the middle of your own Hero's Journey. Your lifelong story of triumph, defeat, and resurgence has brought you to where you stand today, with your experiences and wisdom building your character. When we reflect on our journey, we often think of our own personal growth. But what about the impact we have made on our friends, family, peers and beyond? Every day, we inspire, change, and support the people around us by simply living our lives. In this episode, we are going to show you how to channel your personal Hero's Journey into creating a story that humanizes you, your brand, and most importantly, your audience. Joining us today is Miri Rodriguez, a story brand marketing master. She is an award-winning creative journalist, two-time participant in Microsoft's #MySkills4Afrika program, and volunteer business consultant and brand coach. Miri's experience in storytelling with Microsoft has helped her create her four pillars of story that the tech giant uses to humanize its brand, and today she will be teaching you how to apply it in your life.   Become a Master Storyteller Grab your free copy of The 5 Stages of Grief in Telling YOUR Business Story, check out: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/vn00zi042y Keynote Speaker | Brand Strategy & Workshops | Story Raconteur Park Howell is an international keynote speaker who teaches people and organizations across the world the applied science and bewitchery of story.
