Is it enough to tell your story or should you be embodying your story? Katie talks to somatic speaking coach Stacia Keogh about how she helps business professionals connect with their bodies and emotions so they can make a greater impact with their storytelling. The pair discuss the power of emotion in storytelling and the importance of getting the basics right - and by basics Stacia means standing and breathing! Stacia emphasises the difference between a mission statement and a story, and highlights the three most important stories a business can tell: the story of origin, the purpose story, and the client's story. Key Takeaways Connect with your body and emotions to make a greater impact with your storytelling. A story needs a character, an event, and a transformation. The three most important stories a business can tell are the story of origin, the purpose story, and the client's story. Use metaphors to tell stories with numbers and data.

Michael Humphrey is the co-founder of Digibubble a digital marketing agency. In this episode he shares with Katie how you can use data to craft compelling stories and help you understand your customers more. He also shares a tip or two about AI and making the most of ChatGPT.

We’re delving back into the ancient Greeks and classical literature to learn some important lessons for modern business storytelling. Dr James McCabe is the Story Doctor and he shares how using dramatic storytelling techniques can help you get the attention and memory of your often distracted audience. Key Takeaways: Everyone's attention span is short, making entertainment a crucial factor in effective communication. Techniques from classical storytellers like Homer and Shakespeare are still incredibly useful in captivating modern audiences. While most businesses communicate using rhetoric, the art of persuasion, the changing landscape requires the use of dramatic techniques to win and retain attention. To tell a memorable story, focus on empathy, suspense, and surprise to reward the audience's attention. Homer's Iliad serves as a model for an effective story, emphasising the importance of limiting focus, starting just before a change, centralising the story around one person, and depicting choices made under pressure.

All businesses have a story to tell. And for many businesses the story they are telling is uniquely theirs. But what happens when your business is looking after the legacy of a story that is over a century old and in many ways belongs to hundreds of thousands of people? How do you tell that story? Well that’s what Neil Reed does, he and his wife own Pooh Corner in the village where A.A Milne wrote his famous Winnie The Pooh books. As well as housing a cosy tea room Pooh Corner also has a Pooh-seum with items telling the story of Winnie The Pooh. In this episode Neil shares how he brings his passion and dedication to the business and helps even the most dedicated Pooh fans learn more about their favourite bear and his history. Key Takeaways 1. Educate Your Customers: Neil emphasizes the importance of educating visitors about the brand and giving them a memorable takeaway. Share elements of your brand story that customers may not know, just like the constantly updated Pooh-Seum at Pooh Corner. 2. Listen to Your Customers: Remember, every customer has a story to tell. Take the time to listen to their why and make them feel seen and heard. Building these relationships can lead to repeat business and loyal customers. 3. Brands Evolve: Neil starts every day thinking about how to move the business forward, whether it's a small change or a significant investment. Keep evolving your brand to stay relevant and engaging for your audience.

Roxy van der Post is Founder and Creative Director, Mysotis Film and Photography, so she is very much a visual storyteller. Roxy’s love of all things visual came about after her father gave her one of his old cameras when she was 11, from photography she grew into videography and storytelling. But Roxy’s journey hasn’t always been easy, she’s had to rewrite her inner story and overcome her own limiting beliefs as well as the trials of running a business. Key Takeaways Structure is key in storytelling - you need a beginning, a middle and an end! Share both successes and challenges when telling stories Your stories need purpose and relatability. Each story should have a specific purpose. Show your authenticity through your origin and impact stories. Use an effective call to action - but don’t bamboozle your audience with dozens of things to do or make it too complicated.

Let’s be honest, most industries have a stereotype, whether that’s the nerdy IT department, the super cool and super young social media team or the grey boring accountants who love a spreadsheet and tax returns. So when you are storytelling for business, how do you avoid being cast as that stereotypical person? Katie Flamman is joined by Dai Rose, a very much not grey financial advisor to explore just that. Dai shares how he actively markets himself as the opposite to the stereotypical finance person and how that has helped him build trust and connection with potential clients and his local community. Key Takeaways Stereotypes can hinder effective communication. Dai Rose addresses potential biases associated with his role as a financial advisor by using humor and honesty to connect with his audience and break down preconceptions. Authenticity is key in building relationships. Dai's genuine and real approach has contributed to the success of his business. The interview serves as a case study for the marketing concept of "know, like, and trust". Business storytelling and corporate social responsibility are intertwined. Dai combines his work as a kids' rugby coach with his role as a financial advisor to support disadvantaged children in his community. He aims to provide food, funding, and education to improve their prospects.
