What is (Professional) Storytelling?

When you share inspiring success

stories,

a great personal/business

is a gift from the Universe.

Social Media Mega Success=

Mindful Content (Catchy stories)

+ Passionate Engagement (Engaging with the story's audience)

+ Heartfelt Collaboration(promoting the stories of others, joint e-books etc)

Formula for Social Media Mega Success

High Energy + Prompt Action

= Superhero

Stories deliver information, connect people on an emotional level and build community.

Most of the people (esp in Community-centric cultures) prefer to share inspiring success stories and prefer building brands as more of a byproduct rather than promote themselves directly.

People feel comfortable with stories as they are full of depth and meaning. No wonder stories often end with the 'moral of the story'.

Stories stay in our mind or memory and also help us attract more customers .

Stories entertain. Twists and turns make stories all the more interesting and entertaining.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” Maya Angelou

How Storytelling builds brands?

Storytelling is also edutainment or "Education + Entertainment" Stories are all about the spirit of caring (inspiring) and sharing

(experiences & lessons) If storytelling is used to inspire others and build our brand/reputation

too in the process, it becomes a good example of enlightened self-interest. Both the storyteller and audience benefit in the process.

Stories are the most powerful way of building brands, be it personal, organisations or products.

Every life has a story and every story must be brought to life (when it is put in words, audio or video, the story comes to life.)

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” Maya Angelou

How Storytelling builds brands?

The motivation to participate in social media

is to tell our story &interact with others in the process.

Building and finding a community of people

who encourage and challenge us make it worthwhile.

II-Building online and offline personal brand

You don’t build a personal brand. People do, when they see excellence & have pride in associating with you.

Great brands are built by sharing and caring. Fill the emotional and ego tanks of the other. Find the needs of your community members

and then look for opportunities to collaborate. People believe it when someone else is

appreciating you and God comes to your rescue when someone else is praying for you.

Personal Branding is not personal bragging

Let the Personal Website & Blog be the foundation

Choose the social media which suits your taste

Be consistent and clear

Social Media is a glasshouse

Talk of ethics and positive emotions

Walk the Talk

Online Branding

Take your stories offline

The Art of Storytelling

Once upon a time there was something called thinking Mind .......and then humanity evolved and developed intuitive Soul. #future

Some want to join Bollywood and Hollywood. Some have realized 'Lifewood' is no less dramatic and has action, romance, comedy, climax and all the other drama.

One liner stories

King or a Kingmaker? Recently a politician approached me for personal branding and asked me, "You don't

want to be the King, you rather like being the Kingmaker?"

I said, "Neither the King, nor the Kingmaker. I prefer to be the Brandmaker. If someone becomes the King as a result, I would be glad to share the joy."

Tough question indeed! A participant in a recent 'Enlarge Excel Evolve' workshop asked me, ''How can i be

good to ungrateful people around me? I am still an unenlightened human being''.Tough question indeed! I joked, ''Initially be good to good people. When you become successful, then you can be good to all people.''

Anecdotes

Are you getting ready with your story? Not only the story should inspire, but it must be told at the right time.

1) When the struggle has become a victory.2) When audience has the maturity to understand.3) When you have developed an emotional connect with the audience.4) When God has added enough drama to make it interesting.

Keep writing the incidents/anecdotes, compile your struggles and successes, and,

When the Time is ripe, the Story appears!!!

Aligning personal brand with organisation brand

So, how inspiring is going to be your story? Will you win over the villains and antagonists and

emerge as the hero? Are you the scriptwriter or you have left it to the

"Great storytellers—and, I suspect, great leaders—are skeptics who understand their own masks as well as the masks of life, and this understanding makes them humble. They see the humanity in others and deal with them in a compassionate yet realistic way. That duality makes for a wonderful leader."

Robert McKee

How inspiring is going to be your story?

Aggregate your achievements at one place to give a powerful impression

Deliver Excitement, Surprise & Delight on Social Media (& offline too)

That's all

Build the Brand of Others & They will build yours

"Whenever I encounter a trial or a obstacle, I just regard it as another of life's dramas and I face it

head on. We are all the protagonists in the drama of our own lives so we may as well play our role as the hero to the fullest. Its especially important for the young people to have this attitude. If we react to

everything that happens with surprise, panic, complaint and sadness, we can't be a hero.We will

just end up ruining the whole drama."
