The Story Factor: Inspiration, Influence, and… by Annette Simmons

Such high hopes for this one but it just didn't have enough concrete advice. It all seemed way too rambling. Like she didn't really understand her audience. And perhaps most telling for me: the times she told actual stories (not often enough for my taste) I was rarely moved. Hard to listen to advice from someone whose expertise is undermined by their choices

The story factor : secrets of influence from the art… by Annette Simmons

This is more of a business/public speaking book, and not a very good one at that. Very little insight into storytelling, and could have been re-titled "How to Win Friends and Influence People by Telling Stories."

I knew I was in trouble when on page 30 she made the factual error stating Heaven's Gate members believed Halley's Comet was their salvation (it was actually Hale-Bopp) and spelled Halley "Haley."

There are much better books on storytelling and public speaking. This one missed the mark.… (more)

The Story Factor (2nd Revised Edition) by Annette Simmons

I am particularly taken with the idea that there are certain stories we each need to be able to tell: who I am, why I am here, vision, values-in-action, etc. We've all got stories, most of us just haven't polished them and thought about there strongest points and where they best fit.
