Using a Story to Capture the Importance of Listening to “That Still Small Voice”

Here’s a funny and charming example of how to use a story to make your point him home in a more powerful way and live on in the listener (i.e. how to make it “sticky” a la Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath).

In this excerpt from a wonderful talk by Gregg Levoy, author of Callings, among other books, he ends off his talk with a story that brings alive the concept of what our soul wants for us–and is NOT concerned with.

If you are exploring, or perhaps wrestling with, what you are called to do, or if you are feeling stuck and unfulfilled in your career, you will find this story deeply meaningful.

If you help others in their career search or help people explore how to create a life that is more soul-satisfying, I highly recommend you share  this video with them.

To become a more powerful storyteller in your one-on-one work and group work, check out Advanced Transformational Storytelling which will be held on Sept 14th in Westbrook, Maine.
