This series, I'm sharing insights from my book Work/Life Flywheel.

In this episode, I discuss why stories are important to understand what's possible and helping you achieve it.

Chapter Summary:

• Using character-driven stories with emotional content to illustrate your point of view makes it significantly more memorable.
• To reimagine your career, you must first address why you want a change, before crafting the story to help you achieve it.
• To be truly effective, you have to be specific about the new future you're trying to create and bring it to life.
• The ability to communicate effectively helps you build credibility and inspire others.
• You create powerful new possibilities in articulating your ideas and persuading others to join you on your mission by mastering storytelling.
• Recording 'story-worthy' moments allows you to spot trends in your thinking, trigger new ideas, and slow down time.
• Free-writing enables you to recall stories from your past that have helped form your personality and beliefs, helping contextualise decisions you make in the future.
