Contents
The Power of Story
All day, every day, we communicate. Our days are spent talking and listening, writing and reading, watching
and connecting. From childhood to old age, our life is largely about sharing and understanding stories.
Over time, most of us have gotten pretty good at this, especially with family and friends.
But when it comes to business communication something changes. We put aside our normal way of
speaking in order to sound more “professional” or “serious”. We rely heavily on the passive voice, cliches,
catchphrases and jargon.
Our words may convey all the right information, but they are lacking the spark that makes people care and
connect.
They are lacking the simple power of a good story.
This week we have brought together a wide variety of experts in Communications, Sales, Marketing and
Storytelling to explain the Power of Story.
We will learn why stories are so effective, how stories are best structured and how and when to use them
with our prospects, customers and employees.
Most Apple Specialists have excellent stories to tell. We hope you take this opportunity to harness the
power of story for your business.

Book Club: Sci-fi - An Improvised Novel
The cosmos is our playground.
Outer Space! Some say it is where life began.
Some say it is where we will find our destiny. It is
unquestionably a frontier of adventure, exploration,
and pulpy, weird romance.
Grab your ray gun, salute your space-commander
(or flip them the space-bird), and strap on your
jet pack. There’s no time like the future to blast off
beyond the stars -- with BOOK CLUB: Sci-Fi.
About Book Club
Each month, the members of Sidestage Improv’s
BOOK CLUB come together and create a live, fulllength novel from a single audience suggestion.
They draw on the tone, techniques, and spirit of
your favorite literary genres to deliver one of the
most unique and hilarious shows in town.
