## Business Storytelling Frameworks

### The Pixar Pitch
```
Once upon a time there was [situation].
Every day, [routine/problem].
One day [catalyst/change].
Because of that, [consequence 1].
Because of that, [consequence 2].
Until finally [resolution].
```

### The Moth Story Structure
```
1. Stakes: What was at risk?
2. Choice: What decision did you face?
3. Action: What did you do?
4. Reversal: What changed everything?
5. Reflection: What did you learn?
```

### ABT Framework (And, But, Therefore)
```
[Setup] AND [additional context],
BUT [conflict/problem],
THEREFORE [resolution/action].

Example:
"Our customers loved our product AND sales were growing,
BUT customer support couldn't keep up with demand,
THEREFORE we built an AI-powered help system."
```

## Pitch Storytelling

### The Origin Story
```
1. The Problem: Personal experience with the problem
2. The Insight: "Aha moment" that led to solution
3. The Solution: What you built and why it works
4. The Vision: Where this leads
```

### Customer Success Story
```
Before:
- Situation and challenges
- Failed attempts
- Pain points

Turning Point:
- Discovery of solution
- Implementation

After:
- Measurable results
- Qualitative improvements
- Future outlook
```

## Personal Narrative Techniques

### The Vulnerability Formula
```
1. Struggle: Admit a real challenge
2. Journey: Share the process
3. Insight: Reveal what you learned
4. Connection: Relate to audience
```

### Memory Mining Questions
```
- When did you feel most proud?
- When did you fail spectacularly?
- Who changed your life?
- What moment defined you?
- What would you do differently?
```

## Presentation Storytelling

### Opening Hook Types
```
1. Question: "What would you do if...?"
2. Statistic: "Did you know that...?"
3. Story: "Last year, I met someone..."
4. Contrast: "Imagine a world where..."
5. Bold statement: "Everything you know is wrong."
```

### The STAR Method (for examples)
```
Situation: Context and setting
Task: Your responsibility
Action: What you did
Result: The outcome
```

### Data + Story Integration
```
Instead of: "Sales increased 40%"

Try: "Sarah, a single mom in Ohio, discovered
our app and within 3 months increased her
side income by 40%. She's not alone—we've
seen this across 10,000 users."
```

## Emotional Resonance
