In The Narrative Edge: Authentic Storytelling that Meets the Moment, celebrated writer, interviewer, and speaker Dr. Rod Berger delivers an eye-opening discussion about the rebirth of stories in our society's collective consciousness. Berger explains how great stories are used in effective corporate strategy, educational curricula, social media platforms, and elsewhere. You'll learn how to tap into those stories to connect with your audiences. You'll also discover how to tell your own story - rather than leave it to be told by someone else - validating your presence and building an authentic and compelling narrative out of your own experiences. The Narrative Edge demonstrates how to generate a one- of-a-kind tapestry of characters, ideas, and themes that combine to highlight the singular power and potential of story. The author shows you how to replace unpleasant grievance and envy in your stories with inspiration and courage. He walks you through the process of finding The Story of You and the untapped potential of authenticity. Finally, Berger presents a path forward for what to do when the story you find yourself telling is one that's different from the one you intended to tell. Perfect for young people and professionals seeking inspiration and a way forward as they move into the next parts of their lives, The Narrative Edge is also an essential read for managers, executives, entrepreneurs, founders, and other business leaders who want to connect with their followers, employees, coworkers, customers, and teammates.
