Chris Hare usually helps execs polish their pitches—but now he’s in the hot seat. In this three-part series, we flip the script and unpack the art (and occasional chaos) of storytelling.

• Part 1 dives into the world of corporate storytelling—what works, what bombs, and how to not sound like a robot in a boardroom.

• Part 2 gets personal—Chris shares stories that shaped him, including a few that left lasting impressions (for better or worse).

• Part 3 puts theory into practice—Chris hands us the tools to craft our own stories, and I test them out… possibly with tissues nearby.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

Rewriting Your Inner Cassette Tape

“I find it helpful and more visceral to think about our personal narratives as a cassette tape—a tape that’s playing in our head that we’re constantly writing, rewriting, and adjusting.”

Building One Authentic Narrative Across Multiple Worlds

“A serial CEO I worked with wanted one narrative that connected his private equity, board roles, and yoga community. The result was an authentic narrative rooted in his true self that could be lensed across different audiences.”

Proximity Blinds Us to Our Own Stories

"We’re so close to our own narrative and stories that we don’t see the broader picture… if you’re building with Lego, you might not see that there’s a gigantic pile of Lego behind you."

Changing the Inputs to Shift the Narrative and Change the Outcome

“If you continue to put in the same inputs, things likely won’t change… One of the positive inputs I changed was I got into fly fishing, and that was part of changing those inputs to shift not only the narrative but the outcomes.”

The Power of Raw Storytelling

"Our stories are not always the really clean, really curated story that makes us look good, but that raw story that has the power to shift the future."
