If you’re a communicator, recite a story to a friend and request their feedback
from Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath
How to Apply This
-
Get an envelope. Label it as your “Story Collections.”
-
Collect stories or articles that resonate with you.
For example, cut out magazine articles that moved you the first time you read them. -
Put your collected stories in the envelope.
-
Choose one story to read out loud each week.
You may also schedule in advance when to read the remaining stories in your envelope. -
Invite a friend to listen to you as you tell them the story aloud.
-
While telling the story, pay close attention to the reaction of your friend.
Observe what parts of your performance caught their attention and what did not. -
Ask for feedback every after you finish telling a story.
Make sure that you take notes so you will not forget anything. -
Incorporate each feedback to improve your communication strength.
This is one of the best ways to maximize your ability to communicate with people.
