DESCRIPTION
How corporate storytelling can bring presentations to life - instead of being like watching paint dry.

How paint dries (and what it has to
do with your communications
WWW.WHITEDOT.CO proudly presents
Corporate stories and paintOr, just leaving the colour
And from this tin of paint
we can learn about how stories can bring
life to your communications.
This is the story of how presentations can be more interesting and
effective using stories.
If your presentation doesn’t even excite you, then it won’t excite your audience.
Is this what we normally expect from presentations?
Don’t try to read it. Not that you would have anyway.
Big words
Passive
voice
Too many
words
Bullets!
Yikes! Polymer?
Capillary?
Coalescence?
Just keep the
main bits!
Boring topic, bullets, lots of big words, passive voice =
uninspiring
Being interested and using
human language will
help you keep it simple.
It keeps you part of it.
It makes it mean
something.
Like telling a story.
Or as Jonathan Swift said it…
Even in the 18th century we knew that people use their hearts as well as their heads.
Stories give facts and emotional appeal. They let you talk to the whole brain team.
Right brain
Left brain
Stories let you use intelligence
and imagination,
and reach both sides of the
brain.
And stories talk to them both – and get a good rhythm going between fact and
anecdote.
paint sticks to the surface
Just like the water in our paint story drying up and letting the colour remain,
the logic in a communication eventually disappears...
particles and water
water evaporates
particles draw together
Made of facts and emotions – ideas stick with your audience, and spread…and just leaves people
remembering the way your story made them feel.
Adding stories to your presentations
makes your audience feel like you like them and are interested in
your subject.
It makes them
feel like you trust
them and want them on
your side.
And because they’re made of
facts and emotions, ideas stick with your audience, and
spread.
White Dot works with organisations to change how people communicate – which gives them more confidence in themselves and their message.
It means you grow more trust between your organisation and your stakeholders, which builds loyalty and advocacy, and grows your bottom line.
We believe the time has come for a new language for business, which brings people together.
We can help you produce unforgettable, meaningful, human communicating that makes your important messages stick.
Give us a ring. We’ll get the kettle on.
