BECOME A PERSUASIVE STORYTELLER
Leadership is about persuasion, presentation and people skills
Why Professionals Need to Become Storytellers
I began making presentations on day 1 of my job. I was lucky that I started out as a consultant and my seniors taught me a lot about creating impactful presentations.
Later, when I was the Chief Strategy Officer at Tata Communications, I used to notice that many capable managers were unable to get ahead because of their extremely weak presentation skills. Their slides were unbearable to read, with lots of text or tables pasted. And it used to hurt me to see them struggle because I knew that they were capable of much more than what their presentations reflected.
Your stakeholders don’t have the time to go through dozens of slides or rambling presentations. They are highly distracted and extremely busy. On the other hand, your team members are probably from a generation that is growing up on micro, audio-visual content. The art of storytelling is essential to get their attention.
Just like a well-crafted and told story is memorable for years, your presentation can also be as memorable and effective. The art of storytelling is not just about making great PowerPoint slides – though, that is much needed, but it is about crafting your message in a way that persuades your audience, and then delivering it. The good news is that it can be learnt, in a structured manner, with the right coach and dedicated practice.
