Leaders, learn which stories are most likely to ‘register with’, ‘win attention from’, and ‘inspire action’ within your team during this Coronavirus crisis.

In today’s podcast I’m delighted to welcome back a fellow specialist in transformative business storytelling, who is also a noted author, facilitator, coach, and trainer and is based in San Diego, Dr Karen Dietz – as we discuss the types of stories that can help leaders to cause their teams, clients, prospects and peers to think and act differently during a time of crisis.

And please note, Karen has kindly shared a toolkit that she created recently to help you find and share transformational stories that matter that you can download below.

9 Ideas that’ll help you find the stories your team needs to conquer uncertainty

Lean in as we discuss:

• Why story centric conversations are so essential when tackling big changes
• The importance of getting past tactical information and embracing more humanised and personal conversation when facing uncertain times
• 3 types of stories leaders need to navigate crisis situations with more success
• Why you must regularly revisit stories you tell to be in sync with what’s needed now
• The power of listening for stories and why it matters even more if the chips are down
• Secrets to encouraging team members (including any reluctant souls) to share stories
• How stories can help you and your teams to address and overcome anxious situations
• The #1 type of story that will buoy team member spirits during a crisis
• Stories that won’t serve you well during a crisis you must avoid (and rapidly negate should they emerge)
• And more
