THE SCENARIO SECRETS PODCAST Here is my hypothesis about feedback given to learners... It falls on deaf ears, at best they quickly skip over it to get to the next good part, or at worst they feel annoyed with it and resent the designer for being so patronizing.

THE SCENARIO SECRETS PODCAST My number one issue was overcomplicating stories, but also not asking enough why questions - why does the hero want this? Why are they not going after it right now? What's getting in their way? All of these help you craft a better hero that all kinds of people can relate to, and help your story have meaning and stickiness in their minds. Inner motivation is really the key to creating a relatable character in my opinion. Enjoy this last episode on the "hero" but certainly not the last on storytelling! Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.  To learn more Interactive Storytelling: https://scenariosecrets.com/ To talk about joining my coaching program: https://calendly.com/elearningsecrets/45m-call ABOUT:  Anna Sabramowicz is an instructional designer and coach.

THE SCENARIO SECRETS PODCAST The Hero is very important to a successful story, but the hero is nothing without a very clear and visible goal. Or as the storytelling nerds say... the outer motivation. So how should you think about this to make your hero and their goal something your audience will root for? "Everyone thinks the dream lives in the destination...but that's not the case.

THE SCENARIO SECRETS PODCAST Today I'm talking to Story Designer and Author, Rance Greene.  ABOUT: Rance formed needastory.com for those who struggle with storytelling at work. His methodology—Story Design—gives leaders and talent development professionals a systematic and creative way for discovering who their audience is and how to persuade them to take action on new ideas. Rance is the author of Instructional Story Design, a practical guide for developing stories that train. He coaches, teaches, speaks and writes often on the benefits of stories to connect people to one another. Here are some of the questions we get into:  1. Tell us your story, how did you get here and become a Story Designer for L&D?  2. What is your definition of a story? 3. How does one use story to reinforce learning? Where does it fit? Does it replace content? 4. Can you tell us your philosophy on storytelling?  5. You've worked with many people on crafting their stories, or refining their stories... where do you see people usually mess up when they're first getting started? 6. How can they avoid those pitfalls?  7. Other than reading your awesome book, what advice would you have for someone who wants to introduce storytelling into their learning ecosystem?   To learn more about Rance's work: https://needastory.com/ids To learn more Interactive Storytelling: https://scenariosecrets.com/ To talk about joining my coaching program: https://calendly.com/elearningsecrets/45m-call ABOUT:  Anna Sabramowicz is an instructional designer and coach.

THE SCENARIO SECRETS PODCAST This episode is a little, just a little, off my beaten path of scenario design.

THE SCENARIO SECRETS PODCAST I had a great convo with Rued Riis, "the Vyond guy" as we lovingly call him in the L&D world... and I had a couple of aha moments around the use of storyboards. The conversation really solidified in my mind that a storyboard has a place, but to be honest, it is relegated to the back seat (and probably used if your focus is dressing up content, not actually sharing a meaningful story)...different strategy/tool for different outcomes.

Getting attached to one kind of solution, or one kind of mindset, something I call being a "purist", will hurt you, will hurt how creative you are in your solutions. I had fallen into this trap, and realised that through more exploration and deep conversation with people practicing a different "purism" I might augment my own practice with their approach.  THE SCENARIO SECRETS PODCAST Sometimes you just gotta go back to the roots. That's what I did in this episode.. How I got started with instructional design, why scenarios resonated so much with me and all the wacky adventures along the way.  This is episode one of 6 that gets into the roots of my freelancing career, how and why I created Broken Co-Worker, and continue to evolve my Narrative Scenario Design practice. The biggest goal is to help you overcome some of your limiting beliefs about what can and can't be done…how creative you can be, how proud you can be of the work you love. Honestly, if this immigrant kid can, so can you.  "Everyone thinks the dream lives in the destination...but that's not the case.

Most of my worst projects happened when I was trying to be too creative. When I was trying to reinvent every single aspect of development... starting from a blank page. Over time I learned there are ways to be creative, and deliver an outstanding product while placing massive constraints.

Have you had a habit that held you back from living your best life? I know I sound like a life coach here, but discovering this one limiting mind habit has been a huge aha for me. I sometimes wish I could go back in time and change things. What I said. What I did. But now I realize that all this was a result of what I thought. About myself, about the situation, about limitations... and I brought that with me everywhere I went.   Your reality will reflect what you believe and expect. Want to change how your creative projects work out? Change what you believe about how they'll turn out first. Easy to say. More difficult to do.   Now this aha came slowly. But it became clear that I was not the only one holding this limiting thought habit after I worked with my coaching clients. I found some people had all the luck with clients, all the creative freedom... while others struggled to get an inch.   I discuss this and great examples in this episode. Hope you find it useful!

My interactive scenario and storytelling lessons from working as a trainer in the call center.

My journey from wanting to be a high school teacher to solo-developer.

Story: Feeling like you have a great portfolio idea but, no idea where to start building your portfolio piece? Well, that's exactly where my client John used to be! He had done the hard work of deciding to transition out of K-12 Education and knew it was time help with business problems. It was time to take his experience and put it to a different use, but he needed clarity, guidance, and support to create that portfolio piece he felt he needed! John knew he had a choice to make: "figure it out himself" and build a traditional course, or make something special and join the program. He had everything in place, it was just a matter of executing and being with the right people, right ideas, and putting it all together. Recently, I sat down to chat with John. So if you're ready to hear how he was able to make a career transition, to invest in himself and join my coaching program, then watch his interview now! In this video, Anna and John will discuss: How Anna's systematic approach to engagement and interactivity is exactly what you need when you're building your portfolio piece How John was able to build a career-defining portfolio piece, while meeting the needs of a client/stakeholder AND... how the program provides the clarity and guidance you need to know you are making the right choices for your portfolio To learn more about the Interactive Storytelling Program go here: https://www.elearningsecrets.com/ To watch this video recording go here: https://www.elearningsecrets.com/john-trupiano To experience John's Interactive Story go here: http://amillennialinvestmentstory.net/story_html5.html
