Rupert Honywood interviews Michael on Look Forward Thursdays

Okay so a bit of self indulgence for you in this episode. I was invited by a previous guest and fan of the podcast, Rupert Honeywood of Business Growth Bureau to appear on his weekly live stream titled ‘Look Forward Thursdays’. This is my first speaking event since the start of the pandemic, so I said yes of course. Another opportunity to talk about my current passion, storytelling. 

We came up with a jazzy title ‘Your brain is wired for stories and how to implement this in your business’. 

We discussed the following 5 topics.

1. How storytelling affects your brain 

2. Research on the use of visuals 

3. The Ebbinghaus forgetting curve 

4. How you experience the Hero’s Journey 

5. How to implement this in your business from tomorrow

Now of course we discuss some visuals that I shared, which you can’t see on an audio podcast but if you look below you will be able to see them all there for downloading. Anyway I hope you will find it useful and of course reach out if you have any questions at all. Enjoy!

Michael de Groot - Interviews with BBC Hereford and Worcester

I’m a Dutchman and I’m hugely passionate about storytelling.

My quest is to enable small business owners become better storytellers and share engaging stories about themselves and their businesses.

I do this through my own small business, Staying Alive UK, where we enjoy producing visually impactful cartoons and animation campaigns, engaging audiences and giving them a unique insight into an organisation’s story and value proposition. One of our future aims is to deliver these stories via Augmented Reality (AR) too. In addition we also deliver the ‘Share Your Story’ Storytelling Workshops online to help business owners develop their own story blueprint.

I am the host and producer of the ‘Share Your Story’ Podcast, where I invite small business owners to share their own stories with the aim of inspiring new and existing business owners.

In my personal time, I’m a student of Taiko Drumming, Yoga, Mindfulness Meditation and Minimalism. Just my own way of developing a more meaningful life.
