Can you recite your organisation mission, vision, values, purposes, and strategy as easily as you can your favourite song?   This is a great read by Suzanne Lucas especially for those interested in strategy documents and value statements.  It's fascinating to consider the length of mission, vision, and value statements and how well we can remember and embody them.   Strategy documents can sometimes be too long, making them hard to remember and live by. There needs to be a balance between brevity and memorability—something we can recite and live, like song lyrics.   While we can remember long texts if they resonate with us, few people can recall hundreds of pages like skilled actors can with Shakespeare. We all play roles in our work and personal lives, similar to actors, and this involves rehearsing lines and living out values. The article by Suzanne Lucas and the detailed 125-slide presentation are both worth exploring for more insights.   https://lnkd.in/efUqHhTd

Distribution isn't something you get, it's something you DO - and many of us filmmakers don't get it right the first time. The Distribution Playbook is an open source guide to help filmmakers through the process, including educational licensing. It was developed by staff at Seed&Spark, Kinema, The Film Collaborative, Variance Films, Jax Media, and Duplass Brothers Productions to help you avoid the mistakes that could hold your film back from an impactful release. This is just one of many resources available to help you through your next project. Follow us on Instagram (@videoprojectdocs) for more tips!

"Ever wondered how a **mouse** built a kingdom? 🐭🏰 Let's whisk through the pages of **Walt Disney's** storybook. A man with a sketchpad and a dream doodled his way into hearts around the globe. Disney didn't just create cartoons; he spun tales that whisked us away to enchanted lands, taught us to wish upon stars, and showed us that magic is real if we dare to dream it. His story was one of imagination, resilience, and a sprinkle of pixie dust, reminding us all that we're never too old to dream a new dream. **Here's your magical morsel**: **Your story is your wand**. With every word you share, whether in a meeting, a speech, or a simple hello, you have the power to cast a spell of connection, to enchant with empathy, and to create moments that linger like a timeless fairy tale. Ready to craft your own happily ever after? Let's open the book to your experiences and turn the page to a chapter where your narrative enchants the world, one spellbinding story at a time. ✨📖 #DisneyDreams #StorytellingMagic #EnchantedNarratives"

With Words, Practice (and Iteration) Makes Perfect When I write for business or passion, I’m always looking for the right words to communicate my meaning. Some of you know, I’ve also done a bit of stand-up. Scary and tremendously fun, I use some of the learnings in my life. When I teach or coach about business development, I often talk about researching, listening well, but also about choosing the right words for your specific audience. You can elevate your communications by being aware of the response and iterating - similarly to how a professional comedian workshops their jokes. This short multi-media presentation from The New York Times brilliantly demonstrates how Tomlinson evolves a closing joke to get the right and best response. Language, cadence and word choices matter in business communications, as well as in comedy. Think about the stories you share - during meetings - during pitches and with colleagues. Watch and listen to the responses. Break them down and try them again in different ways. Perfect them to get your desired outcome, whatever that may be. Storytelling is an art and can help us in business. #communications #comedy #businessdevelopment #LindaOrtonConsulting
