Storytelling in business has been a hot topic for quite some time, but crafting a strategic narrative is a newer concept, one that our guest, Guillaume Wiatr, knows a lot about.

What’s the difference between a story and a narrative? 

As Guillaume shares with us, the old question of the glass half full or half empty can be instructive. The glass itself is the story, your perspective on its disposition is the narrative.

In this conversation, Guillaume helps me understand the difference between a story and narrative, and how the process is both a decluttering of noise, and a creating of clarity. 
 
 Guillaume also gives a glimpse of the actions he took to take control of the strategic narrative for his own company. 

If someone were to ask me before this conversation what Guillaume does, I would have said that he helps entrepreneurs and business owners craft the story they tell about the why, how, and what they do.

Problem is, that would have been wrong. 

Guillaume is quick to use words like abundance, joy, and love, but is clear about how these things need to be applied in a systematic approach that produces money, for his clients and him.  

He also says that for many new business owners, despite what Simon Sinak says, starting with why can be dangerous.
 
 In this episode, Guillaume answers the following questions:

· What is the difference between a story and narrative?

· How is narrative used in business? 

· What does narrative literally mean?

· What are some common examples of narratives in business?
