What it’s not…
• Only selling
• Marketing-related departments only come up
with stories
• Ads!
• Interruption!
• Few updates
• Unrelated updates. “Happy Thursday!”

Help people spot stories
If you want to share something because it’s
unique, interesting or caught your eye for
another reason it might be a story!
Share the story with somebody to see if it’s
interesting to others!

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Define does and donts. Just a few!
  • #3 By participating I mean responding, yes, but we won’t go into that much today. Participating also means leading! Sharing stories that are relevant. What’s relevant? Of course your audience/customers decide that…. But stories work.
  • #4 Authentic stories vs. talking pointsQuestions to ask: Does it fit into overall mission?
  • #5 After sharing traffic ticket and then walking story ask the typical questions!
  • #6 Even if it’s internal first.Change at UW…
  • #7 Have to be on board…Positive reinforcementGet them sharing storiesMy story!
