Welcome back to
“Irresistible Communication”.

Two minutes, twice a week.

00:00:03
No nonsense advice on
leadership communication.
4
:
00:00:10
As we approach the end of the year, let's
take a moment for a:
2023
5
:
00:00:16
And while we're at it, let's tackle
a common struggle in storytelling
6
:
00:00:20
and that's finding good stories.
7
:
00:00:23
Because that's what I get
asked frequently: where
8
:
00:00:25
do you find good stories?
9
:
00:00:27
Here's the secret: you
don't find good stories.
10
:
00:00:30
You create them.
11
:
00:00:31
It's through the telling
that stories are born.
12
:
00:00:34
2023 has given us plenty of unique
events, both globally and personally.
13
:
00:00:40
It's a year that brought challenges,
inspirations, setbacks, victories,
14
:
00:00:45
discoveries, and tough decisions.
15
:
00:00:47
Each of these experiences is a thread
in the fabric of our lives, each one,
16
:
00:00:53
a potential story waiting to be told.
17
:
00:00:56
Think about your own year.
18
:
00:00:57
What events or moments in 23 made an
unexpected difference in your life?
19
:
00:01:02
What learnings altered
your course or perspective?
20
:
00:01:07
Or reflect on the people who
crossed your path and left a mark.
21
:
00:01:11
As we stand at the threshold of a new
year, why not take the time to turn
22
:
00:01:15
one of these reflections into a story?
23
:
00:01:18
You're a story of 23.
24
:
00:01:20
It doesn't have to be
grand or life altering.
25
:
00:01:24
Sometimes, the most profound stories
are found in the simplest of moments.
26
:
00:01:29
Crafting your story is not just
about recounting events, it's an
27
:
00:01:33
opportunity to reflect, learn, and grow.
28
:
00:01:37
So, as we bid for a well to 2023,
let's embrace the stories we've
29
:
00:01:42
lived and the lessons we've learned.
30
:
00:01:44
Remember, great storytelling is not
about having extraordinary experiences.
31
:
00:01:48
It's about finding the extraordinary
in our everyday experiences.
32
:
00:01:53
Keep lighting the path and
share this with a friend.
