Towards Leadership #4

Welcome to Towards Leadership from Leadership Letters. This episode builds on some of what we heard from Karen Eber, taking more of a dive into storytelling for leaders, and some ways to reflect on and become more confident in your use of stories as a leader. We begin with a look at how we tell our stories, and thinking about and connecting with our audience. “If the facts are the engine of the story, what matters to you and your audience is the fuel.” We share prompts and reminders about: How we can transfer the storytelling we do socially to the stories we tell at work Connecting with the audience, whether it’s 1 or 1000 people Using feedback Recording yourself Busting the myth that you are either a naturally good storyteller or you’re not. The importance of recognising the impact our visibility as leaders has on energy. “There is no doubt that being constantly visible and knowing that your words have impact, uses up resource.” RECOMMENDATION LINKS: The Book How To own the Room by Viv Groskop The Talk Everyday Leadership by Drew Dudley The Podcast The Moth Hosted on Acast.
