Storytelling Isn’t Optional in Business. It’s Essential

By: Jon Dwoskin

🗣️ Everyone talks about storytelling. But in business? Most people are still winging it.

As a business coach, I hear it all the time:

👉 “I need to tell better stories.”

👉 “I want to connect more in sales.”

👉 “I wish I could lead with more impact.”

Here’s the reality: storytelling isn’t just a buzzword. It’s the skill that sets leaders, sellers, and brands apart.

And here’s what most people are missing: a powerful story.

✅ Not a ramble.

✅ Not a pitch.

✅ A clear, structured narrative that moves people.

When you master storytelling, you stop talking at people — and start connecting with them.

You build trust, spark emotion, and drive action.

Here’s the simple blueprint I teach my clients to build stories that stick:

🦸 HERO — Who’s the main character? (It’s not you.)

🧭 GUIDE — Who helps them through the journey? (That’s often where you come in.)

💥 PAIN — What challenge or obstacle do they face?

🚀 ACTION — What bold step is taken to overcome it?

💔 FAILURE — What setbacks or risks nearly derail them?

🏆 SUCCESS — How do they transform by the end?

This structure works — whether you’re closing a deal, leading a team, raising capital, or scaling your brand.

If you want to lead, sell, and grow with real impact, your story is your superpower.
