Assignment 2
:
Storytelling
—
Learning about you: a story with a moral
Submit:
On Canvas
as a PDF file
Length:
1 page, single spaced, 12pt font
Memo Format
You have
two minutes
to tell us a great story
—
one you could relay at 1) a staff meeting, 2) a new
employee orientation, 3) or a larger presentation that might include your boss, other key stakeholders,
or potential clients. You may think of this as the “beginning” of a larger
presentation. You may use any
story from any source (your own experience
—
this is preferred
—
a story told to you, or a published
story). Stories are used regularly in business presentations and can quickly and memorably teach
important concepts we want our
employees/boss/clients to think about, remember, and/or accept.
Thus, it is essential to end your story with its moral, or, in other words, the lesson you hope the
audience learns from recounting this story.
The day before you tell your story (
see Canvas/Syllabus for dates)
, submit a memo (i.e., sing
le spaced,
To, From, Date, Subject
with the following information:
1) Y
our story
title
,
2) A
brief summary
of the story,
3) A
succinct restatement (
one sentence
) of its
moral
, and
4) The
“
management goal
†it s
erves (see Denning’s list below)
Make every effort to be conversational, sincere, enthused and well
–
practiced in your storytelling
.
You
will use NO notes or visual aids in this assignment.
Guidelines will be presented and some coaching will
occur prior to this assignment. If possible, stories will
be “captured†on web via Class Capture
for
downloading/viewing. Reviewing your presentation online will be extremely valuable for enhancing your
public speaking skills. You will receive teacher and student feedback on your storytelling.
