- Simon Sinek is one of our storytelling heroes. His TED talk on How Leaders Inspire Action is very much worth your time today.
- Venture capital firm First Round looked at 100 mentorship pairings and found out what makes for a beneficial relationship. We particularly liked the insight that the pair should focus on specific problems, not general issues (just like in good storytelling).
- We love a challenge. Here’s how we use creative thinking to tell stories online for our clients that have strict corporate guidelines that must be followed.
- Onboarding new employees? Take a cue from Mailchimp and have your employees do nothing in their first week.
- According to Bill Taylor from HBR, CEOs need to elevate their definition of success so that employees have a greater sense of security and participation.
- You can use storytelling to better engage employees. We did it, and it worked.
- If you are looking to re-invigorate your creative projects this year, Austin Kleon recommends finding a good place to have bad ideas.
