Storytelling Workshops
Sitting in that swamp, staring down the throat of an alligator, I realized that I have let others mould me. When I dug deep enough, I found the core of what I intend to base my future on – storytelling.
The workshop series, ‘Introduction to Storytelling in Business’, was launched with active participation from the featured storytellers as well as from the audience.
Drive me, Tesla?
What happens when your car becomes smarter than your GPS? Recently, Tesla’s first fully autonomous Model Y drove itself home from the factory. It got me thinking: if I get one, what do I call it? “It” doesn’t seem right for something with its own mind. My wife jokes she’s already planning to confide in our future Tesla – finally, a companion who won’t judge her spontaneous ice cream stops or shopping detours!
The Tea Ceremony
The best tea stories aren’t just about leaves and brewing – they’re about the memories that steep alongside them, from a roadside tea stall’s thundering rain to air-conditioned luxury that somehow lacks soul. When Ria transformed my understanding of tea through her ceremony, she didn’t just share product knowledge; she crafted an experience that connected my past, present, and the premium teas of Darjeeling’s misty hills. This is how smart businesses package their Darjeeling tea – not as commodity, but as curator of moments that customers will remember long after the last sip.
The Uber Ride
Series: How to find your stories. In business and in life, stories are the corner stones of your communications strategy – verbally, digitally, and in print. If you are in the habit of journalling, you can collect a large repository of ‘trigger words’ for recalling stories and events.
Empower your stories with audio and video
Extend your stories with audio, video, infographics, and more. Integrate the platforms you are already familiar with to publish those stories.
Tiger tales. Who’s the hunter
“The tiger had pounced and pinned me against the tree. The tiger had propped me up, with its claws buried in my sagging shoulders. He was chewing on my head and had it almost entirely in its mouth!”
