To us at The Chief Storyteller®, every day is, a storytelling day! Too often professionals both do not think of themselves as business storytellers and do not have integrated business stories across their organization. As far as thinking of yourself as a business storyteller, one of our key mission elements is to help you become your own Chief Storyteller®.

As far as thinking about integrated business stories, here are just a few of the many business story elements you should have up-to-date, integrated across the appropriate functions (e.g., finance, hr, sales, marketing, customer service, and operations), in a story library–all ensuring your stories are repeatable and memorable.
