My Lessons
1. Give your message meaning through stories
•Only 5% of people remember stats without a story
•65% of people remember stories that they are told
• Stories are 22 times more memorable than facts alone
Stories need to be…
• Memorable
• Impactful
• Personal
Every great story has a…
• Hero
• Goal
• Obstacles
• Change
2. Inspire creativity though cross pollination
• Give people space to be creative
• Improves productivity by 32%
• Know when to break away from the formula & innovate
• Keep people outside of their comfort zone to avoid complacency
• Go on field trips
Game time!
“ The problems we face today cannot be solved by the same
level of thinking we were at when we created them”
Albert Einstein
3. Do not get emotionally hijacked
• Take responsibility for your impact, results, and reputation as a leader
• 5:1 positive interaction ratio
Signs of emotional hijacking:
• Certainty increases
• Justification for actions becomes present
• Task focused
• Urgent need to action
Engage rather than hijack
“Skillful pilots gain their reputation for storms and
tempests”Epictetus
