How can you stay up-to-date with the changing landscape of storytelling?

It is always good to know what is trending. It is also always good to carve your own path. Never copy what others are doing, but take inspiration from what you see and hear others doing. Learn from the best, but give it your own spin. This is PERSONAL branding, after all.

As a dentist, it is important to keep up with what is popular in storytelling. That means paying attention to what topics and styles are catching people interest. Look at what other dentists are doing successfully in their stories. Incorporate these trends into your messages to stay engaging and relevant to your patients. Following trends helps you learn from others in the field avoid using outdated methods and make sure your dental messages resonate with people.

To stay current with evolving storytelling trends, regularly consume diverse content across various media platforms, engage in networking with fellow storytellers, attend industry events, participate in workshops or webinars, and continuously seek inspiration from both traditional and emerging storytelling formats.

Create a short list of people similar to you or industry leaders you respect who have a strong presence on LinkedIn and whose posts you enjoy. Hit the bell on their profiles so you are notified when they post. Or, if you have Sales Navigator, build a leads list with their names. Watch how they tell stories. Don't worry about copying them right away, just study how they do it. Set up a Google Sheet with ideas for your own posts, and keep notes in there about techniques you like that you might want to try. When you are ready, start posting. Make it a point to try something new every month.

No te preguntes como cambiar y adaptarte a lo que está pasando, mejor identifica que no ha cambiado y adapta esos principios a lo nuevo que va a ocurrir, pues si nos dejamos llevar por las modas, al igual que ellas, vas a pasar de moda. Adapta tus fortalezas al cambio que está ocurriendo y sácale provecho, si solo haces lo que todos sin identificar que valor vas a agregar, no generaras un cambio significativo. Saber lo nuevo es bueno, pero es mejor saber como lo vas a usar.

I built an entire story-template library for Linkedin. It has different formats. One of which is starting the post at the plot moment. ?I booked a one-way ticket to Asia. And never looked back“ or with a quote of the leading characters of the story: ? What are you reading?“, a guy comes up to me. What are your fav story-formats?

The only way to get good at storytelling is to tell stories. You have to test and see what works. - Start by studying great storytellers. Watch comedians and notice their delivery. Pay attention to friends & family who are great storytellers. Watch interviews with celebrities who tell great stories. - Test some of your stories on friends. Don't tell them you're trying things out. Notice what works and what doesn't. - ALWAYS be looking for ways to improve your storytelling skills. Find your style.

Experimenting with new formats is not only a good idea, it's fun. Try out different styles and different methods. I post a lot of short content, but I also enjoy longer form articles, and I love being on podcasts. Collaborating with others on these ideas is another great way to mix things up.

Experiments are crucial for being in the trends. I used to look at different trends & do a lot of experiments with my formats. Keeping your unique value with new experiments is crucial to be stand in the crowd.

Once again my opinion is to be original and not copy others! Create your own. Create what’s warms your heart. Create what makes you happy! Create what satisfies your creative mind and you will never go wrong!

Foster an environment of continuous improvement by actively seeking feedback from your audience, peers, and mentors. Welcome and appreciate honest feedback on your storytelling. Ask for input on what resonates with them, what can be improved, and what they would like to see more of. Improve your storytelling, find areas for growth, and adapt your content to better suit your audience's needs and preferences using this feedback.

Feedback is a core for good results. Do experiments & openly take feedbacks. I also look at my stats. The formats which give me more appreciation are on my top lists.

Metrics only reveal part of the picture. Balance quantitative data with qualitative insights from trusted sources. Seek out constructive criticism beyond surface-level praise. Keep an open and curious mindset, not a defensive one. Feedback is the food of growth - digest it thoroughly. Let your audience guide you towards purposeful storytelling that makes a difference, not just viral success.

If you do a great job, you won’t have to wait for a feedback as people will give it to you without even asking and the same will apply if you do a poor job!

We don't need to reinvent the wheel all the time. Drawing inspiration and insights from other storytellers, both within and outside your industry, can help you avoid starting from scratch. Study successful storytelling campaigns, analyze case studies, and deconstruct compelling narratives to understand what makes them effective. You can also engage in collaborative brainstorming sessions, participate in storytelling workshops, and join communities or forums where you can learn from the experiences and perspectives of fellow storytellers.

Of course learn from others but please, please learn from others mistakes so you don’t make them! Some of learn the hard way and that is we learn from our own mistakes but that is not the best way for sure!

Stories are permission slips. You never know how someone's life/career trajectory might change after hearing someone else's unique anecdote. Authenticity is key when it comes to storytelling; don't ever lose it, even as trends evolve in the landscape of storytelling.

Storytelling is anchored in authenticity. - Define your core values - What stories embody your message & personality? - Reflect on your unique perspective - What experiences set your stories apart? - Gather authentic inspiration - Seek stories that resonate deeply, not just follow trends - Refine your storytelling voice - Experiment and find what feels natural and impactful - Stay true to your audience - Understand their needs and values, but don't compromise your authenticity - When your stories ring true, your audience connect & engage - Maintain your core values & voice across platforms and stories Embrace the flow of storytelling, anchor yourself in authenticity, create compelling narratives that stand the test of time & will resonate

Well done, Bronwen. One thing I've found to be true before I write is identifying my audience, and staying true to the elements of purposeful writing.

Agree, keep it authentic! Yes and the best way to do that is that you first tell stories about your own experience and keep the jokes on yourself! Take an example from Charlie Chaplin - all jokes on himself and look no further!

Keeping up with and updating is the secret of success. To stay up-to-date with the evolving storytelling landscape for personal branding, regularly consume content from diverse sources, follow industry trends on social media, attend relevant webinars or conferences, and engage with communities of storytellers. Adaptation to emerging platforms and technologies will also enhance your storytelling approach.

In today's scenario, audiences are no longer passive consumers, they’re active participants. You must incorporate real-time engagement and user-generated content to foster a deeper connection with your audience. Embracing the latest tech can be a very good idea to stay updated and ahead of the trends. Apart from this, the best way is to explore different communities and influencers and get inspired to innovate in new ways. Storytelling is both an art and a science. Don’t be afraid to experiment with new formats and styles. Whether it’s through short-form video content, interactive infographics, or narrative podcasts, trying out different approaches can lead to discovering what works best for your audience.

As creative as storytelling sounds, you need a system in place. You can call it a routine, framework, or process. Pick something that works for your lifestyle and capability. It could be a particular time in the day. It could be to create a functional space for creative writing, i.e., your preferred environment, from quiet to a bustling cafe. From here, work on a set of storytelling frameworks that best suit you and your content. There are plenty of tried-and-tested storytelling frameworks, but these will be effective only if they are relevant to your personal brand and your goals.

In my perspective, your unique value will take time to grow. But, it's crucial for unique personal brand. We can do experiments and practice a lot.We can keep our updated with trends. But, trends will change daily. Audience like those who stand different from the crowd.

Saber lo nuevo es bueno, pero es mejor saber como lo vas a usar, pues te pondrá a?os luz de los que no encuentren una aplicación a su ejecución.
