Input: [Steps] Step 1 [Instructions] Grab a pad of Post-It notes, a stack of 3 × 5 cards, and something to write with. [Comments]

Output: If your story is very long, it can help to break up sections by using different colored 3 × 5 cards.

Business Storytelling For Dummies Cheat Sheet - For Dummies


Input: [Steps] Step 2 [Instructions] Start with an image or a trigger word. What’s the first image that brings your story to mind? What’s the first image you want to convey to listeners? Some images may be too complex to draw. But a simple trigger word generates an image in the mind. So feel free to generate a mix of images and trigger words. Draw the image or write the trigger word on a Post-It and stick it to a 3 × 5 card. This isn’t about art! Just scribble what you need to so you can remember the image or word. If you don’t like what you drew or the selected word, rip off the Post-It and write a new one. That’s a lot cheaper than recycling 3 × 5 cards. [Comments]

Output: For stories to be authentically shared, don’t memorize them by rote. Spend time figuring out the images and trigger words you want to convey and put them in the order you want so you can share the story. Having a solid launch makes the rest of the story easier to tell. If you can see the image, you can convey it to your listeners. The job of the storyteller, when telling, is to feed the listener images to feast on. Focusing on images is an easy way to both remember the story and trigger the experience in your listeners’ minds. When you’re re-experiencing the story, your listeners can experience it with you.

Business Storytelling For Dummies Cheat Sheet - For Dummies


Input: [Steps] Step 3 [Instructions] Continue through the rest of the story. Keep drawing images and/or scribbling trigger words until you’ve gone through the entire story. By the end you should have a full image deck. [Comments]

Output: Don’t worry about how many cards you have at this point. Just get the images down in the order you think they go in. The size of the deck can get large if it’s a long story. Rubber band sets of them together if you need to.

Business Storytelling For Dummies Cheat Sheet - For Dummies


Input: [Steps] Step 4 [Instructions] By yourself, review the story and eliminate extraneous details. Keep it simple. Boil the story down to its essential images. [Comments]

Output: In the first pass you might create a card for every piece and detail of the story. That can easily become overwhelming. Now is the time to start winnowing down the pile to make it manageable and easier to remember.

Business Storytelling For Dummies Cheat Sheet - For Dummies


Input: [Steps] Step 5 [Instructions] Speak the story out loud. Rearrange the images as you need to. You may also find that an image or trigger word you discarded becomes important again. Add it back in. Likewise, some other images can be eliminated. [Comments]

Output: Once you start speaking the story out loud, the order of the images may change. This is normal as you recall what happened and figure out how the story wants to be told.

Business Storytelling For Dummies Cheat Sheet - For Dummies


Input: [Steps] Step 6 [Instructions] Images need transitions to get the listener from one place in the story to the next. Solidify these transitions. Write them out, if necessary. These are usually very short — typically a simple sentence. It can often help to memorize these transitions. [Comments]

Output: Transitions help get you to the story’s key message. If you’re clear about them, then you have flexibility in how you share your experiences. They allow you to tell the story in different ways to different audiences while still remembering the steps you took to get to the key point.

Business Storytelling For Dummies Cheat Sheet - For Dummies


Input: [Steps] Step 7 [Instructions] Practice, practice, practice. Practice the story out loud. Get used to hearing your story being spoken. Take your image deck out for a walk, telling your story out loud as you work through your cards. Or speak it while on a treadmill. Time your story as you practice and walk with it. Share your story with a trusted partner. [Comments]

Output: In this step you’re learning to tell the story by moving from image to image, and using your transitions to get from one place to another. As you speak it out loud and with trusted friends, make further adjustments as you figure out what’s working and what you want to fix. Speaking your story out loud as you walk or use a treadmill are terrific ways to build the story into you physically, while training you to tell it in spite of distractions. This is how you begin to know physically what 10 minutes feels like. Or 3 minutes. If you only have 3 minutes or 10 minutes to share your story, building in this internal time clock is invaluable — especially when a clock or timer isn’t available. And how often do you glance at your watch when telling a story? Hardly ever. If you do this physical step, you won’t need to.

Business Storytelling For Dummies Cheat Sheet - For Dummies


Input: [Steps] Step 8 [Instructions] Practice and tell your story without the cards. [Comments]

Output: Yeah! You’ve arrived. You know your story. You know the order of the images so you can tell it well and with confidence. Your transitions flow and the key message and following action steps are delivered flawlessly. Now you can tell that story in different ways by simply reordering the cards, finding new transitions, and maybe even sharing a different key point and/or action steps. Just keep having fun!
