3 steps to a great story
Facts tell, stories sell
But it’s not enough just to have a great story. To make the most of your best business stories, you also need great storytelling.
Fortunately, great storytelling is as easy as 1-2-3.
Here’s how to turn facts that tell into stories that sell, in this rewrite of one of my favorite corporate stories, a piece about FedEx helping rescue a bear named Ben.

Master the Art of the Storyteller
Engage readers with wordplay, metaphor and more
My husband likes to quote Anonymous, who said: “If a man speaks in the forest, and no woman is there to hear him, is he still wrong?”
The communicator’s corollary: If you cover your terribly serious and important stories, and nobody pays attention, does your message still make a sound?
At Master the Art of the Storyteller — our two-day creative-writing master class on Sept. 25-26 in New York — you’ll learn how to write copy that grabs attention, keeps it longer, communicates more clearly, enhances credibility and is more likely to go viral.
You’ll walk away with proven-in-the-lab best practices — not just what to do, but how — for painting pictures in your readers’ minds so they understand your points faster, enjoy your information more and remember it longer.
Specifically, you’ll learn how to:
- Think Outside the Pyramid: Increase engagement, readership, sharing and more.
- Color Them Fascinated. Rivet readers with juicy details.
- Paint Pictures In Your Readers’ Minds. Make their brains light up.
- Get to Aha! Master a creative process that works with — not against — your brain.
- Play With Your Words. Surprise and delight readers with wordplay.
- Make Magic With Metaphor. Charm readers with compelling comparisons.
- Master the Art of the Storyteller. Whoever tells the best story wins.
- Get a creative writing workout with Wylie: Take your story from ‘meh’ to masterpiece when you practice your new skills on your own work.
