🎯 Challenge for leaders: Share one story this week that shaped your perspective.

Tell it in a meeting, a post, or a speech.

Watch how it connects. Because policy informs—but stories inspire change.

Example 👇
💬 Instead of “we have a housing crisis,” say:
“I met a mom working two jobs who still can’t afford rent here. That’s why I’m pushing for greater housing affordability.”
💬 Don’t just cite data—*connect* it to someone’s lived experience.

How to tell a story that drives impact:

1️⃣ Focus on one message
2️⃣ Be real—imperfections make you relatable
3️⃣ Use vivid details to paint a picture
4️⃣ End with a clear call to action
📌 Story structure = Situation → Challenge → Resolution

Why does storytelling matter in leadership?

🤝 Builds trust—people relate to you, not just your policies
❤️ Sparks emotion—facts inform, stories inspire
🚀 Turns awareness into action—stories make the stakes real

This isn’t about fashion—it’s about strategy.

Ask yourself: “Does my appearance reflect the leader I want to be?”

Small, intentional changes can make a big difference in how you’re perceived—and how effectively you lead.
