Storytelling- Part II
August 28th, 2PM-3PM EST
Two Areas Where Storytelling Shines Most Brightly–i.e. Adds HUGE Power to Your Ability to Catalyze Change
-
How to challenge someone’s limiting beliefs, perspectives, or attitude w/o triggering defensiveness or resistance.
-
How to shift someone from a disempowered “There’s no way I can do that!” state to an empowered “I CAN do this!” state where they are willing to try.
These two areas are among the most powerful applications of storytelling and why you would use storytelling. Here are some common situations you would want to have these abilities:
1. Someone is not open to a new way of looking at their problem and any attempt to get them to do so only triggers “You don’t understand” or other defensive or dismissive responses.
2. Someone just “knows” they’re right and your job is to help them see that…well, no…they aren’t right. But you know if you try to challenge them directly, they will only hunker down and clench onto their “rightness” even more tightly.
3. You have a pretty hard message to communicate to someone and you know that anyone who heard this “no holds barred” message would get defensive or maybe even offended. But…you need to get them to think about this. Here’s another place where telling a story can deliver the message “wrapped in bacon’ (like you do when you give dogs medicine that tastes bad).
4. You’re coaching someone about how to do something that is anxiety-producing for them–such as confront someone, speak at an event, or take more of a leadership position–and they don’t believe they can. Not only do they believe they can’t…they are stuck in an “unresourceful” emotional state. While in this afraid or hopeless state, there’s no way they’ll be able to generate useful solutions about how to best deal with their challenge. Thus, before you can even engage them in exploring options, you must help them shift from a “Can’t do” to a “Can do” emotional and mental state. This is another area where storytelling shines.
