Storytelling is an essential business skill. We use stories in a variety of ways to attract customers, partners, investors, and build our team. Your audience needs to understand why you do what you do, and your powerful storytelling skills must emotionally hook them. A pie chart can’t communicate emotionally the way stories do.

This book will teach you how to:

- Find your pertinent stories for keynotes, town halls, sales and investor presentations, fundraising and recruitment interviews, as well as media appearances.

- Craft your stories to stop the meander.

- Put your listeners in a “Mind Movie” so that they see it, taste it, smell it, touch it, and most of all, feel it—so that your leadership becomes magnetic, memorable, and impactful to drive the results you seek.

- Transform your verbal presentation slides so that they support you, and don’t usurp you with too much information.

As Steve Jobs said, “The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller. The storyteller sets the vision, values, and agenda of an entire generation that is to come.” And, I’ll add that as the presenter or storyteller, you have the obligation to educate, empower, inspire, motivate, and entertain. That’s where refined storytelling skills come into play. Your business mission, vision, and work depend on the connections you make with others. Your stories matter, so tell them well!

Narrators and Storytellers: Melissa Reaves, Caleb Carr, Lauren Archer, Jeremy Richards, Mark Shone, Jeremy Kredlo, Erin McCune, Pradnya Desh, Dr Noor Ali, Linda Fisk, Crystal Clenny, Denise Cooper, Jennifer Maldenado, Judy Blue, Jin Kim.

Powerful Impact

I am blessed to know the author as a dear friend, and have had several opportunities to witness the impact it has had in pitch competitions and for Founders in how they put their go to market strategy together. Without a story, it just is not as powerful of an offering. Great job Melissa in putting the audiobook together. Get the book version too as the illustrations are helpful!

A Master Class in the Power of Storytelling

Melissa Reaves' "The Storyteller's Mind Movie" delivers exactly what I've been searching for - a practical framework for creating narratives that stick.

The audiobook format is absolutely essential here. Reaves doesn't just explain storytelling principles - she demonstrates them through her delivery, creating a masterclass in real-time. Her narration transforms what could have been just another business book into an immersive experience that proves every concept as it's introduced.

I started listening during a flight delay, planning to just sample a chapter. Upon landing, five hours later, I was still completely absorbed. That's how engaging this audiobook is.

Highly recommended for anyone who communicates for a living (which, let's face it, is all of us).
