THE ART OF STORY TELLING:Creating Memorable Moments

A key part of any golfers journey is what happens at the 19thhole. It is is a time when disasters are reframed and glories arerecaptured and celebrated. It is through the sharing of storiesthat mutual respect and appreciation are expressed and the

bonds between players are solidi�ed.

Stories are also powerful tools for leaders to illustrate values, create meaning and guide the actions of others. Storytelling

is a critical leadership skill to engage an audience, build trust, and teach a lesson. Sharing personal triumphs and challenges

earns a leader the right to be listened to.
