Tell Better Stories
Someone who finds stories in ordinary days, shapes them around one moment of change, and tells them so a room leans in, at work and beyond.
Twelve Stations, one a day, from Storyworthy, Stephen King's On Writing and three books on stories at work: a daily habit for finding stories, the five-second moment, beginning at the opposite, stakes, cutting the second draft, the customer as hero, and telling it out loud. The road ends with a bank of five stories of your own.

Your first story, out loud
Pick one moment from your notebook, find its five-second change, start at the opposite and name the stakes early. Then tell it to a friend in two minutes and ask where their attention drifted.
