Why Does Story Work So Well?

We live in a world that has lost its connection to its traditional myths and is now trying to find new ones—we are humans and that’s what humans do when we lose our myths and stories.

These stories shape our future, how we live, what we do, and what we value. They touch all of us, but not all of us get to write them. However, those who do, have awesome power.

And where there is power, there is a struggle for it. That’s why, just below the surface, just beyond what the uninitiated can see, there are courageous conflicts occurring.

The leaders, demonstrators and champions are the change activists, tech heads, vision weavers and community builders, which I call the new TribeTalker© brands.

They seem to be fighting over ideas and dollars, but what they are really striving for is a connection to our stories and values. The best of them, those who know this and can persuade us are relating to us through their values and story and are blowing the others out of the water. Today trust, truth and transparency are king, queen and country.

These new TribeTalkers© are the master storytellers and this is your invitation to be part of that tribe. Understanding your story can make you a more effective brand leader.

But that’s not the only reason I want to enrol you. I am encouraging you to be part of my story because our world urgently needs solutions in so many areas—economic, social, and environmental and that’s only a few.

The ability to Dream it, Create it, Feel it, Live it© and spread these solutions lives or dies on the ability to tell great stories that inspire people to think differently.

Connecting to your configuration of archetypes is the perfect place to find out what story you are here to tell.

Its time to know yourself; discover your purpose… and Live A Larger Story

Your Story Creates Your Value

“Did you know the most successful presentations are about 65% stories and 25% figures, with the remainder an explanation of your credibility?”

Even though a presentation needs many elements to create magic, it’s hard to deny the power a great story can add to a presentation.

A well-crafted story can take your audience far away from the world of business jargon and inspire them to truly feel your message, imagine scenarios, and envision fresh ideas. As a result of your story and the emotional impact of your tale, your audience will often remember the overall message of your presentation for many years to come.

For your presentations, consider starting with a story, ending with a story, or weaving a narrative throughout your entire presentation; whichever option you choose, your audience will relish the experience.

Here are a few more ideas on creating an effective presentation – it’s very important to develop your own lexicon; the language connected to your brand. This is what strengthens your story and creates quality engagement – You must first and foremost become a committed and talented storyteller of your own Brand!

• Live within your brand’s philosophy by telling your story well and only speaking that particular language around your audience/tribe/community.

• To serve your audience well, they have to recognize your lexicon as their language too – this is a large part of identifying who your tribe actually is.

• You must create and know the lexicon and story of your own Brand so well that you become fluent with its story and message, which helps others to pick it up and want to follow it and share it.

BIG TIP PEEPs – don’t copy other people’s lexicon and story thinking it will work for your personal brand and story. It is extremely important and necessary that your lexicon and story are BORN out of YOU; they need to be an expression of your authentic truth and lived experience.

That is what makes your message powerful!

Message of Light for October

KINDNESS

Dear Kindness,

If I am only but a drop of rain in a vast and living ocean, it is you sweet kindness that shows me that I am among others who know such a place, for we together are that ocean of life.

And So it is

What stops your progress?

Brace yourself…

It’s Addiction! 

If you want to take your life to the next level and live a larger story – Try this formula for 21 days. 

  • Stop drinking alcohol 
  • Stop refined sugar 
  • Stop taking drugs 
  • Stop binge watching 
  • Stop endless social media scrolling 

And REPLACE them with: 

  • Start drinking more water
  • Start a daily meditation practice 
  • Start a fresh food only diet 
  • Start connecting to nature & people 
  • Start writing down your progress 

We often think we don’t have any addictions, but humans are emotional creatures that are prone to addiction because we have a deep need for connection and belonging.

And when our lack of BELONGING is triggered, we will subconsciously or consciously find substitutes to soothe our lack or loss of connection.

I have experienced my own emotional addictions and been witness to loved ones living with severe addiction since the day I was born. 

And my personal discovery is everyone has different levels of addiction they must overcome to reach their true potential. 

The key to overcoming an addiction is replacing it with an “authentic desire”.

What YOU are really CRAVING are these deeper human needs.

  • BELONGING 
  • CONNECTION 
  • LOVE 
  • CREATIVITY 
  • COMMUNITY 

And of course, I am fully aware that our addictive behaviours can stem from past trauma, I think by now we all have an understanding of this in our modern world. 

However, we must have a starting point if we want our life to change, which is where the replacement idea and action above can help. 

I also call this the Correction and Transformation Process. We have to identify where we are and then make a conscious choice to replace our thoughts or feelings with a more appropriate desired outcome.  – For example, moving from feeling angry to feeling calm or moving from thoughts of blame to forgiveness. 

But let’s start with doing the physical activities mentioned above. Shifting your focus will help in strengthening your ability to sustain your new reality. When you see your progress it reinforces your actions and supports you to keep going. 

If this resonates with you right now – I encourage you to try it for 21 days and see how it feels to fully take your power back.

Heart to Heart and Blessings Abound to you and your beautiful Spirit – Elizabeth Ellames

Poem of Light for August

LOVING

Dear Loving,

As I give of my heart, my mind will follow, for above the realm of reason rests the light and love of all that is worth having in one’s life.

And So it Is

Poem of Light for January

Strength

Dear Strength, am I aware, am I unknown or simply afraid?

My inner world beckons.

Strength, you show me it is not always whether the right questions are being asked, but rather have they truly been heard from my heart.

Strength, in my vulnerability and inquiry you appear, and show me the way to The Divine Presence infinite mind is through my listening heart.

I know this is my only passage in.

And so it is
