| |
| “I used to think that running an organization was equivalent to conducting a
symphony orchestra. But I don't think that's quite it; it's more like jazz.
There is more improvisation.” - Warren Bennis
Jazz is a great metaphor for leadership so I thought it would be interesting to explore how running an organisation might be more like improvisation.

telling stories the brand connection
| |
| Today, we're interested in stories, and not particularly interested in facts. Every story needs facts, of course, but they are secondary.

Resist the Interpretation Addiction
| |
| Sometimes we adopt a story and unknowingly our emotions get swept up in it. And 99% of the time we don’t really question or inquire into the story we create. We treat our story as what actually happened. The problem, of course, is that the story influences, in part, the action you take in subsequent events. This article is about identifying the stories you may have created, working around them and managing them.

The Most Important PR Secret
| |
| What most entrepreneurs and companies don't understand is that often the main job of the PR firm is to find the right story. It's often not the obvious story that works, because that's the same angle that the competition will be pitching. Without the right story and tone, you have a weak campaign, at best.
