What can children’s books and their big cousins, YA fiction, teach us about telling our companies’ stories?

 

  1. Start with an improbable hero.
  2. Give them a challenge.
  3. Show their character.
  4. Give them helpers.
  5. Bring the reader into the story. J.M. Barrie did that overtly in Peter Pan.
