Communicating Your Ideas with Conviction

📣 Stuck with a great idea

Maybe you've got a great idea, and you just want to get started! But unfortunately, you're spending more time convincing people to do it, than actually doing it. 😒

You could really make things happen, if you could just get them on board.

Here's a communication trick from Pixar that can help persuade even the most stubborn people on your team.

💡 The Pixar Story Arc

Next time you want to motivate people to collaborate, try this storytelling template:

🏡 Once upon a time...

🚶‍♀️ Every day...

🐸 One day...

💖 Because of that...

🌟 Because of this...

👸 Until then finally...

🚀 Now with conviction!

👩 Imagine... a happy user of our product.

🙅‍♀️ Every day... she uses our list app to stay organized.

💡 One day... she wants to make a new list with the same custom categories, but they don't duplicate automatically.

🆕 Because of that... she is frustrated by having to enter all the categories manually.

🎉 Because of this... we release a new feature that allows her to populate her lists with any custom categories or items she has used before.

✨ Until then finally... she can create new lists effortlessly and feels motivated to continue using our product.

📖 The power of a great story

When your team understands the practical and emotional value of your ideas, they're much more likely to get invested.
