Backstory Consulting’s Post

First-time founders brag about how many employees they have, while second-time founders take pride in how few they have. I find this fascinating! 7 years into the journey, I’ve been guilty of bragging about this vanity metric. But it’s really about the value and impact you deliver to clients and consumers. #efficiency #impact

As we reach the end of our 30-day challenge, I want to take a moment to reflect on this incredible journey we’ve shared. Over the past month, we've explored various aspects of creativity, community, and personal growth, all while highlighting the importance of the FOCUS Framework in our lives. Each day has been an opportunity to connect, inspire, and learn from one another. We've celebrated talented individuals, discussed the power of innovation, and emphasized the significance of cultivating relationships within our creative community. It's been heartening to see so many of you engage with the content, share your stories, and express your aspirations. This challenge was not just about sharing our journey at WIT Studios; it was also about fostering a vibrant community of creatives eager to support one another. Your participation and feedback have been invaluable, and I encourage you to continue this momentum even after the challenge ends. As we close this chapter, let’s carry forward the lessons learned and the connections made. Remember to apply the FOCUS Framework in your journey and keep nurturing your creativity and relationships. Thank you all for being a part of this challenge. Let’s keep the conversation going and continue to inspire one another as we navigate our creative paths together! What has been your biggest takeaway from this challenge? Share your thoughts below! #30DayChallenge #CreativeCommunity #WITStudios #Reflection #GrowthMindset #FOCUSFramework

I'm a Product Manager (PM) who is committed to developing products that center diverse perspectives in shaping our narratives. 💪🏾 As a PM dedicated to creating equal opportunities and supporting marginalized populations, I believe in the power of diverse perspectives. They are not only essential for innovation but are key to developing products that resonate with everyone. 🌍 Representation matters in every stage of product development, from concept to market. So you know I am not only excited to be part of Diversitech 2024! I am welcoming this crucial conversation on "The Role of Representation: Diverse Voices in Shaping Product Narratives." This session features leading voices like CherRaye Glenn-Flowers, Dr. Lonna Hardin, and Evan Leaphart, moderated by Derek D. Ross, MBA. 🗣️✨ I believe out of conversation we can make achievable and actionable goals towards inclusivity to make diversity in product storytelling a norm. 🚀 Reserve your spot and be part of the change!

"Nothing changes culture that isn't new" When creators aren't encouraged by their surroundings, breaking out and being original is hard. However, being original can change the culture or inspire a new wave. What does creating an environment of people chasing originality look like, and what impact can it have? Welcome to the 2024 season of Creator Camp. For us, it's all about nurturing originality. Creators doing original things will shape the internet over the next 15 years. We want to elevate those people and, as a result, inspire a new generation of creators. Here's what we're up to: x2 🏕️Base Camps — week-long co-working and education retreat with 25 creators x1 ⛰️Flagship Summit — A 4-day summit for 75 creators pioneering in their field, featuring inspiring conversations and adventures x1 🎬Documentary — A film inspired by our theme, nurturing originality, that will look to inspire creators to be original for generations to come Time to make history alongside our two season partners, RØDE and Notion.

This looks a fantastic event, any of my contacts in Leeds interested in inclusion and the tech landscape should check it out.

Hi. We're Act Three Consulting. We're new here so, by way of an introduction: we do storytelling for businesses. Because we believe that true stories, well told, drive action. We're here because there's a distinct lack of uniqueness and truth in business right now, and we've seen true stories unlock an authenticity for leaders and entire organisations that is the key driver of engagement. We're here because no business strategy can be realised without its people. And because, to realise it, people need to believe in the plan, feel connected to it and be able to act upon it. We're here because stories are the answer. They can create belief, connection and action, thanks to their six fully fledged, bona fide, wrapped-in-spandex, super powers. Stories can: 1. Simplify complexity – how we (at least try to) teach our kids about love and death, dreams and loss and how much better it was when we were kids. 2. Imbue meaning and purpose – from the philosophy, maths and astronomy of the Ancient Greeks to the Tao of Winnie the Pooh 3. Make big ideas personal – Animal Farm, Catch 22, A Clockwork Orange, The Lord of the Flies, Dr Seuss' The Sneetches... 4. Connect and unite audiences – Storytelling results in neural coupling. And you can't get more connected than that in the workplace without a written warning. 5. Evoke emotions and action – Sir David Attenborough's end scenes for the Blue Planet series may have been the most harrowing and impactful climate change story, so far. 6. Inspire possibilities – Story creation is the original strategic framework. (It could also be called 'plotting'). Every business will have a story system - the stories your audiences (internal and external) tell about what you do, how you do it and why. The question is, do you want to harness the superpowers of story, or just let them be told anyway? We're here to co-create a true story that can unite your audiences and enable them to believe in, connect with and act upon your plan for success. So come and say hi, comment or follow us. Or whatever, really. We'd love you to be part of our story. We can't wait to see how this unfolds. #newhere #newchapter #actthree #truestories #welltold #driveaction #hello #plot #people #believe #connect #act

In the hustle and bustle of our daily routines, we sometimes lose track of time. Just yesterday, I was penning down my thoughts, utterly convinced that it was Friday. Well, today is unmistakably Friday and it's time to wrap up the week's reflections. Whether or not you've noticed it, you have grown, you have evolved, you have moved closer to the person you aspire to be. In the middle of all our pursuits - personal, professional, or entrepreneurial - let's pause, let's appreciate the journey we've undertaken. It's not just a date on the calendar, it's a marker of our personal evolution. As we set the sun on this week, let's do more than simply wrap up. Let's take a moment to reflect upon the journey we've traversed, the challenges we've overcome, and the victories we've earned. These experiences, no matter how small, are stepping stones on our path to growth. So, what insights has this week brought you? What victories are you celebrating? And how have they propelled you closer to the person you aspire to be?
