"Stories are a great tool for making yourself memorable when you meet someone new. The problem with meeting someone new is the process is so routine -- we've all done it so frequently -- that it is very easy to fall in a rut.
Almost every time you meet someone new, it is very easy to get in a habit of explaining who you are and what you do in the same way, over and over again, without thinking."
Read the full article to find out this 4-step process for creating your own personal connection story which will enable you to be much more memorable when you meet new people:
- Create Story Markers
- Create a Progression of Actions, or Story Arc
- Identify the People in your Story
- Explain the Point of the Story
A good connection story is short - preferably less than 90 seconds long - and illustrates who you are as a person. It also explains what you do and perhaps even why you do it in a way that is distinctive and memorable. If you think you don't have a great connection story, which you do, the article ends with ideas of how to help you find it.
