Stories are important when presenting your Plan because they allow you to:

• Build rapport

• Introduce new ways of thinking to your people

• Empathise with your people

All of which are vital to achieving the commitment of your people to your Plan.

Successful leaders often use 3 key types of stories:

1. The "Why are we here?" story - give the personal and business reasons why you are looking to grow the company.

2. The "Vision" story - describe how the future looks and feels for your people and the benefits for you.

3. The “I know what you are thinking" story - tell a story that demonstrates how you previously overcame a similar concern to the concern that your people have.

What is the single most important reason that your people need to know about the why or how your company will achieve your growth?
