tell me a story...

how many times did i ask my parents, as they tucked me in at night, "tell me a story?"  and, whether it was read aloud or told from memory (and sometimes both!) i still remember them.

rudyard kipling said, "if history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten."

the story of alexander hamilton has just been made into a broadway musical.  the final song line is, "who will tell your story?"

most great leaders teach in the form of poignant questions and relevant stories, both of which are memorable and relatable.  crafting something into a narrative that has a beginning, middle, and end also takes thought and care.

in what new ways might you tell your own story or maybe someone else's who isn't able to?
