みなさんはヤドリギ（宿木）を知っていますか？
ヤドリギは木の上で育つ植物で、丸い形を作ります。冬でも緑色の葉っぱをつけているので簡単に見つけることができます。私はドイツで初めてヤドリギがある木を見て、鳥の巣があるのかなと思っていました。
ところが、先日ある日本の俳優さんがインスタグラムにヤドリギの写真をアップしているのを見つけて、この植物の正体が分かりました。
調べてみると、ヤドリギは地面では育たず、木の幹や枝の上で栄養をもらって育つ植物のようです。ヨーロッパではクリスマスに幸運を呼ぶシンボルとして玄関に飾るそうです。

THE POWER OF STORYTELLING

Great communicators take their audiences on a journey through storytelling, and Aristotle’s famous ‘Tell, Tell, Tell’ triptych is one of the most offered pieces of advice given to anyone hoping to become a good storyteller.

However, you don’t want to just follow the crowd, you want to stand-out and be remembered by your colleagues, your boss and your clients. So, I want to share with you an updated take on the 3-tells for the modern business era.

Firstly, share your conclusions with your audience. Start with the conclusion that you want the audience to remember. This lets them know what you are going to be communicating to them and provides a destination.

Secondly, show how and why you have reached your conclusion. This is the heart of your story and where you will spend most of your time. Because they already know the destination, this part of your presentation is more productive as your audience is already trying to convince themselves that your conclusions are correct.

Finally, tell them what you want them to do with your conclusion.
