What does storytelling have to do with managing risk? On this episode, I’m speaking to novelist, playwright, and screenwriter Preethi Nair.  She also helps people who want to tell their stories to identify the one that will resonate and tell them in the best possible way.
 
We all know the power of storytelling.  It’s how we learn as kids and how we share information as adults. The risk angle here is that if we want people to do the things we want them to do, and not do the things we don’t, then stories are a powerful tool in persuading them.

In our discussion, we explore:
  • What makes a great story;

  • Why storytelling matters;

  • Why we can often find it hard to tell the right stories;

  • What we can do to identify the stories we could and should be telling;

  • How Preethi came to be a storyteller;

And much, much more.  Including, of course, Preethi’s own story.

Additional Episode
If you enjoy this episode, then I also recommend listening to my discussion with James Victore on “Creative Courage’.  James helps people (in his words) to ‘get paid to do what they love’. Many of the topics we discussed here chime with that discussion.  You’ll find it here: https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/james-victore-on-creative-courage/
