Met @Susys at @ComNetworkChi excited to continue the goodness from February’s event! Woot! And look @gordondym! Event buddies!!
Less can be so much more powerful. Everyone needs an editor. @susys #comnetworkchi
Short can be effective: @susys namechecks the famous Hemingway six-word story: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." #comnetworkchi
If you have a passion story, people will listen and will stick with you and stories will go viral. But those passion stories are unusual. @Susys #comnetworkchi
Excellent storytelling requires bringing all the stakeholders together at the beginning of a project. As an investigative editor, @Susys brought together everyone at the beginning of projects, even if they wouldn't work on the project right away. #comnetworkchi
How can you work with academic researchers on storytelling? The key is to communicate that you're not trying to trivialize information, you're trying to translate it @Susys #comnetworkchi
Begin with the end in mind: who do you want to reach? what are your goals? If you ask good questions, you and your client putting together a story can become partners in crime. @susys #comnetworkchi
Stories are all about your audience. What will they hear and not hear? Knowing your roadblocks to what I'm saying is important. @Susys #comnetworkchi
Storytelling takes practice, but we don't practice it. Nobody presents the communications report at a meeting and says, Let me tell you a story. @susys #comnetworkchi
Your brain reacts to stories as if they are actually happening to you. @Susys #comnetworkchi
COMING UP: Story Matters, a Q&A with @Susys of @PublicNarrative and Stephanie Foerster at @ensembleme! #comnetworkchi
