We, humans, are inherently drawn to stories as a medium for learning and accessing information. But many bankers erroneously think that they don't have any good stories to tell, therefore they don't even try to tell stories
Every small business needs a relationship with its community banks to help them prosper, and sharing examples of your work through storytelling will create a connection that benefits both parties.
Efforts to make storytelling a strategic initiative will yield long-term benefits, so think about examples and themes you can leverage.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
