Season 2 | Ep 24 | If you Don’t Like It, Don’t Listen | A Russian Fairy Tale

Golpo | Stories From Around the World

This is a story for YOU, the Storytellers (closeted, learner, aspiring, amateur, professional) who listen to this podcast.

The ones who tell stories to children, to families at dinner tables and colleagues & clients at business meetings.

The ones who I imagine are spreading the story dust gathered from this podcast across classrooms, living rooms and boardrooms.

Here is a story that will warn you about the dangers of telling a rambling, unprepared, non-sensical story. As much as it is entertaining, telling an unprepared story won't give you the wins you want. Wondering why are your stories not working with. your audience? This story may hold the clue!

Unlike the storyteller in this story, an unstructured narrative won't help you make a business point, inspire a class, get you a job, get an investment, or attract listeners when on a stage.

If anything at all, this is a story that will warn you about the possibility of Wasteful Storytelling.

So before you set out to tell a story...prepare well.
