Are you a good talker?
If so, you may be a bona fide Networking raconteur. And if not, you might consider becoming one.
From all my years of networking and connecting with people, the greatest tool of all time has been my ability to share and tell stories to others when connecting.
Never thought of yourself as being a raconteur, have you?
There have always been two kinds of people that exist in the world of networking.
- The one’s that tell the story
- And the one’s that buy into it.
Which one are you?
It’s quite often when I meet people, it’s the same old stuff. Hello. How are you. What do you do etc.
While all that stuff is pretty straightforward, simple, and considered to be small talk, why not tell a story of something that inspires you, or a story you heard from someone else that inspired you?
People love stories. And people love it when others listen to the stories they are telling.
Storytelling is the conveying of events in words, images and sounds often by improvisation or embellishment. Stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation and in order to instill moral values.
If you think my idea of telling stories is a good idea, and want to gain a better understanding of it, I’d suggest that you visit - The National Storytelling Network (NSN) who serves individuals and organizations that use the power of storytelling in all its forms. http://www.storynet.org/
Oh by the way, Raconteur" has been part of the English vocabulary since at least 1828.
