Our readings for this week include information describing the importance of storytelling as a business communication tool.
Using the techniques described in our readings, tell us a short story (200-300 words) that describes a single experience you have had with business communication. Maybe you hit “reply all” when you shouldn’t have. Maybe you really struggled with that ultimately successful presentation. Whatever it is, your story should have purpose (maybe you want to convince us to avoid the same mistake, or that perseverance pays off). Be sure to follow the guidelines for storytelling in Chapter 3.
When responding to your peers, choose the stories you think are the most interesting and compelling. Be sure to tell the writers why you think so.
