9 Smart Stories - the Stories You Need for Customers, Culture and Connection
Smart stories are not life stories; they’re not novels or epics. Smart stories are simple stories targeted to reinforce the messages needed by our customers, our staff and our funders.
Vince outlines the nine stories that business and organisations need to gain traction in the marketplace and the workplace. He introduces his Spice Cake Recipe, a tasty model for crafting effective stories and teaches leaders how to recognise, craft and deliver the nine stories that’ll engage, unite and influence.
This book takes the best of modern storytelling and teaches leaders to build a bank of stories they can draw on to deliver powerful, engaging messages that win business and build loyalty.
Vince worked with Sandra Portegys, principal at Ōmokoroa Point School to create a picture book that represents the values and vision of their school.
Ōmokoroa is a fast growing area and children are arriving from many different places and backgrounds. Belonging was identified as a key theme. The narrative follows a young kuaka (bar tailed godwit) that makes the marathon flight from Alaska to the colony at Ōmokoroa. She is welcomed and learns the values of the colony as she discovers what it is to belong, surrounded by the names and landmarks that are a part of Ōmokoroa Point School.
