Last week, our CEO Tammy Broaddus, had the opportunity to be a "sidekick" to startup leaders at KU Innovation Park, leading them through a workshop on how storytelling can be used to accelerate the spread of ideas. A key takeaway from the day? Getting ideas adopted begins with your audience answering "YES" to three questions: 1. Does it feel right? 2. Does it make sense? 3. Is it doable? In other words, before you get to the CTA, your audience must move through the CTF (call to feel) and CTT (call to think) first — only then will they take action and adopt your idea as their own. Thanks to Chris Rehkamp for the invitation to connect with these up-and-coming entrepreneurs. We're cheering them on as they get their ideas adopted!
