Using Storytelling To Engage Your Audience


Listen Later

It's time to engage your audience using the age old art of storytelling.

Learn how to implement the ultimate storytelling framework into your organisation today.

How did this episode come about?

At a recent business workshop I attended in Sydney, I learned of a podcast that contained a brilliant framework to telling a great story. After doing some more research I found myself totally immersed in learning as much about an art form that literally dates back to the beginning of mankind - storytelling.

The history of storytelling

History clearly shows us a common pattern of storytelling, that is evident in many different forms, throughout many cultures. The Indigenous Australian Aboriginal people were masters in story telling in the forms of rock paintings, corroboree (an ancient method of combining story with music and dance) and campfire storytelling.

In fact, back in episode TSS074, indigenous role model Ben Stainer talked to me about how his ancestors used to use storytelling to navigate.

Cultures right across the globe have been using storytelling for centuries. The Chinese, the Japanese, the Vikings, the Persian Empire and of course the Egyptians are very well known for telling amazing stories using their hieroglyphs and detailed carvings.

Are you telling your story?

I was interested to learn in my recent discoveries that pretty much every story that we come across, old and new - follow a similar framework with a similar structure. The reason that successful stories follow a similar framework is because as humans, we're wired to respond to stories in a certain way. if you can get good at adopting the same framework, it will mean that you'll become the master of getting your message through to your ideal customers.

So here we are today and my question to you is how are you telling your story?

At Tradie Web Guys and The Site Shed, we work with tradies & contractors all day, every day. I can honestly tell you that 95% of the businesses that we work with really struggle with telling their story.

For example, when I ask our new building clients what they do, they tell me they build reliable homes at an affordable price. Or they tell me they do
