Personal challenges, difficult decisions, choices, hurdles, obstacles that you have faced in your life or career
Use the six-part narrative structure as described in your readings to give your narrative structure and to align it with an audience that you have in mind. Make sure to directly connect the narrative back to information you have studied and learned in this course and explain how it relates to your mindset for becoming an effective leader who creates inspiring, innovative organizations.
In summary, here is that structure again:
• The setup- The ‘who, what, when, and where’ of the narrative, told succinctly.
• The buildup- The conflict, problem, or challenge that must be faced.
• The scene- The “snapshot in time” where you drill into a specific turn of events, such as a critical conversation or sequence of events.
