Your ability to tell a good story, an anecodote, will help you far more than almost any single thing you can do, professionally.

This is not joke telling ability, this is an ability to take almost any subject and figure out how to illustrate your points via a compelling story. If you are jobseeker, it is about your 3-minute elevator pitch, if you are sales rep, it’s about the thing you are selling.

I am no expert in story telling, but this guy is. I posted this before over two years ago, but I thought it so worthwhile I thought I would post it again. We need better story tellers more than ever.
