“The problem of how to make… wisdom
understandable, transmissible,
persuasive, enforceable - in a word, of
how to make it stick - was faced and a
solution found.

Storytelling was the solution -
storytelling is something brains do,
naturally and implicitly. . . it should be
no surprise that it pervades the entire
fabric of human societies and cultures.”

“Those who do not have power

Storytelling for Leaders (China Edition)
“When you’re conversing with co-
workers, customers, or investors,
the richness and meaning of your
story is what people really buy.
Everybody thinks it’s the return on
investment that you’re selling...but
it’s really the story about ROI that
an investor takes away.”

Former CEO, Oceania

“There's a lot of talk in this country about the
federal deficit. But I think we should talk more
about our empathy deficit - the ability to put
ourselves in someone else's shoes; to see the
world through those who are different from us -
the child who's hungry, the laid-off steelworker,
the immigrant woman cleaning your dorm room.
As you go on in life, cultivating this quality of
empathy will become harder, not easier. “

THE INFLUENCE TOOL
MAXM I N
MAXM I N
MAXM I N
1 Presence
Connect inwards and
become aware of where
you are at.
What feelings (heart),
thoughts (head) and
behaviours (hand) can
you let go of to be right
here, right now?
2 Purpose
Ground your strategy in a
reconnection to your true
purpose, core values and
your deepest principles.
What is your overall
purpose as a leader?
What are the key
personal principles you
act from at your best?
3 Intention
Reflect on the reasons
for your actions and
focus on one clear intent.
What is your single-
minded intention with
this action?
What assumptions are
you operating from? Are
they all valid?
4 Sense
Attune to the opportuni-
ties within the system,
organisation and
network to influence.
What are the sweetspots
for intervention in the
system?
Who in the organisation
needs to shift to create
change?
What actors in your
network could be
activated to effect this
change best?
What are the feelings,
beliefs and behaviours of
these individuals?
5 Align
Connect fully with the
emotional, mental and
practical needs of those
you want to influence.
What might shift the
feelings, beliefs and
behaviours of your target
best?
What might motivate
them most? [Think
Meaning, Mastery,
Membership, Money]
What else can you draw
on? [Think Reciprocity,
Reputation, Rapport,
Resonance, Requests,
Reinforcement, Rewards,
Repercussions]
6 Story
Develop your ‘story’ to
appeal emotionally,
rationally and practically
with the target.
What is the emotional
connection?
What are the key facts
and figures?
What are your core
insight(s) / break-
throughs?
What is in it for them?
What do you want them
to do next?
[Use the WECREATE
story engine for best
results]
7 Engage
Implement your story to
engage the right people
in the most appropriate
way.
Who needs to hear
which part of the story
to effect change?
How can you most
effectively and
efficiently reach them?
What obstacles to fully
‘getting’ the story can
you remove or alleviate?

What feelings (heart), thoughts (head) and behaviours (hand) can you let go of to be right here, right now? 2 Purpose Ground your strategy in a reconnection to your true purpose, core values and your deepest principles. What is your overall purpose as a leader? What are the key personal principles you act from at your best? 3 Intention Reflect on the reasons for your actions and focus on one clear intent. What is your single- minded intention with this action? What assumptions are you operating from? Are they all valid? 4 Sense Attune to the opportuni- ties within the system, organisation and network to influence. What are the sweetspots for intervention in the system? Who in the organisation needs to shift to create change? What actors in your network could be activated to effect this change best? What are the feelings, beliefs and behaviours of these individuals? 5 Align Connect fully with the emotional, mental and practical needs of those you want to influence. What might shift the feelings, beliefs and behaviours of your target best? What might motivate them most? [Think Meaning, Mastery, Membership, Money] What else can you draw on? [Think Reciprocity, Reputation, Rapport, Resonance, Requests, Reinforcement, Rewards, Repercussions] 6 Story Develop your ‘story’ to appeal emotionally, rationally and practically with the target. What is the emotional connection? What are the key facts and figures? What are your core insight(s) / break- throughs? What is in it for them? What do you want them to do next? [Use the WECREATE story engine for best results] 7 Engage Implement your story to engage the right people in the most appropriate way. Who needs to hear which part of the story to effect change? How can you most effectively and efficiently reach them? What obstacles to fully ‘getting’ the story can you remove or alleviate?
