In the working environment, storytelling fills in as an essential, powerful tool for successful communication.It gets people excited around a thought, or maybe some drier information that probably won't have been as intriguing before.

Motivation behind Storytelling

Incredible stories uncover a piece of yourself. Ask yourself:What compels you care about the work that you do? Which part of you beyond your work is available within that world? If in financial services, for instance, what is it behind the numbers and information that are at the emotional core of your work?

Make it an individual story

The characteristic of an extraordinary story is that the shared experience has changed the person in some way. Basically, it can be a change of perspective or support for a belief or an idea.First, ask yourself what change you would like to see in your audience. When presenting a new idea to people, start in a place they can relate to and understand why they are skeptical or uncomfortable. Confirm that, then use the story as a guide for where to land them.You have given them a step-by-step process to get to your common point of understanding.

Exhibit change

What's so interesting about what you're talking about?If the audience knows why you are interested, they will have a reason to care about them. In other words, the story must have value. And they don't have to be significant.You can create a great story from little things if the storyteller is interested in it.

Show passion while you're recounting a story

You always want to think carefully about what you are leaving your audience with.What is the theme of your story, what is the big idea? Your story will be full of details, of course. In fact, one of the best things about storytelling is that the details create the world.So, the more detailed you are in the story, the more global the story becomes. But think about how all the details of your story relate to the big idea.

Focus on one Theme/Big idea

Storytelling help leaders to inspire employees, sharing a vision, defining company values, teaching necessary concepts, and even helping employees to get to know their leaders better.

The system is what will get you there.2.Make the system motivate you and give you happiness :The feeling you get when you achieve a goal is only momentary. focus on the system instead, you will enjoy entire process.

2.Prove it to yourself with small wins.

Habits exist in order to help us do repetitive things automatically. 
Problem phase
 • Cue - the cue triggers the brain to a certain behavior, like you walk into dark room.
 • Craving - this is the motivation behind the habit, like you want to be able to see
Solution phase
 • Response - this is the action to perform, like you flip the light switch.
 • Reward - it has two purposes - to satisfy us and to teach us, like you satisfy your craving to see.

All habits are based on four simple steps  

• Make it obvious
 • Make it attractive
 • Make it easy
 • Make it satisfying

How To Create A Good Habits  

• Make it invisible
 • Make it unattractive
 • Make it difficult

How To Break A Bad Habits  

If you want to make a habit a big part of your life, make the cue a big part of your environment. • It’s not easy to read a book if the bookshelf is in the corner, It’s not easy to practice guitar if the guitar is in the closet. Our environment is very important to following good habits. The secret to self-control • One of the most practical ways to eliminate a bad habit is to reduce exposure to the cue that causes it. • you can remove the cues from your life, and the habit will not be triggered.

Changing your Identity - It Is about what you believe, Build identity based habit

Layers Of Behaviour Change  

We are so focused on figuring out the best approach that we never get around to taking action.
Planning vs taking action
 • Motion makes you feel like you're getting things done. but really, you're just preparing to get something done.
 • Most of the time we're just so confused on figuring out the best Approach that we never get around to taking action.
 • Planning is good, but it don't produce reasult.

Walk slowly, but never backward  

• simple habits should take less than two minutes and be easy to do. So instead of reading a chapter, read a page.
 • Automate the entry habit, and you will automate the whole activity.

The two-minute rule  

“A habit needs to be enjoyable for it to last.”
What is instantly rewarded is done again. what instantly punished is ditched
 • To get a habit to stick You need to feel Instantly successful, even if in a small way

The cardinal rule of behavior change  

• We will instinctively Choose the path That requires least amount of Work.
 • When friction is reduced, habit become easier.

The Law Of Least Effort

• Do something you really like right before a difficult habit
 • Habit are attractive when we associate with positive feelings and Hard when we associate with negative feelings
.

Enjoy hard habits  

The human brain naturally loves challenges. And for something to be challenging, it cannot be too easy or too difficult.
If it’s too easy, we get bored very fast. If it’s too difficult, we lose our motivation
