It's the way. It's built into the architecture of the brain, and has been since early humans gathered around the camp fire, trying to figure out how to outsmart the lion next door.In Story or Die, story coach Lisa Cron sets out to decode the power of story, first by examining how the brain processes information, translates it into narrative, and then guards it as if your life depends on it. Armed with that insight, she focuses on how to find your real target audience and then pinpoint their hidden resistance. Finally, she takes you, step-by-step, through the creation of your own story, one that allows your audience to overcome their resistance and take up your call to action, not because you told them to, but because they want to.

In this episode, Ryan & Alexis are talking about "overcoming the Pioneer Paradox." If you haven't already listened to our previous episode on the 5 Voices, you're going to want to go back and listen to that one first. But for those who are familiar with the 5 Voices, this conversation will be enlightening! For many people, there seems to be a burden to be a Pioneer. Pioneers are often the most visible of the voices and it seems that their visionary leadership sometimes puts them on a pedestal, while the other voices are left to aspire to be more like them. This creates lots of problems for both teams and individuals.Instead, each person should be free to "bring their gold" to the table, something that the other voices can't bring as well. So, let's look at what each voice's "gold" is and how they can overcome the Pioneer Paradox.You can learn more about the 5 Voices by clicking here.To take the free 5 Voices assessment and discover your voice, click here.To learn more about how to make your team invincible, check out www.evrgrnteams.com
