Beyond its social impact, cultural representation also enhances the quality of storytelling. By incorporating diverse perspectives, fresh narratives and unique experiences come to the forefront, enriching the overall storytelling process. When storytellers embrace cultural diversity, they tap into a vast reservoir of untold stories, adding depth and authenticity to their creations. https://lnkd.in/eEvs7Nh8

Alice Cooper’s Guillotine: How to Stop (Rewrite) Nightmares Forever Alice Cooper was born Vincent Furnier in Detroit, Michigan, in 1948. His family eventually moved to Phoenix, Arizona, while he was in high school. Alice Cooper is well known as the “godfather of shock rock.” He took his name from a character named Alice Cooper in the American television series “Mayberry RFD.” Alice’s theatrical rock show antics included using props such as snakes, electric chairs, baby dolls, and fake blood. But the showstopper of them all was his guillotine. Alice introduced the guillotine into his show in 1973 during the Billion Dollar Babies tour. But Alice had become interested in guillotines well before that tour. While taking art classes and studying Salvador Dali as a student at Cortez High School in Phoenix, Alice built a working guillotine that he used to slice watermelons. Alice’s first band in high school was the Earwigs. It was during their show at a Halloween dance that they used the guillotine for the first time.   “They’d borrowed the prop from a journalism classroom where the kids were made to spend five minutes with their heads in the guillotine as punishment for late assignments.” (AZCentral) Alice loved creating nightmares for his theatrical presentations. Giving nightmares established Alice Cooper as one of the most successful rock artists ever. But, hey, when it comes to collaborating with other writers, you don’t want them giving you nightmares in your written presentations, right? What kind of nightmares? The nightmares that come with rewrites. Let’s face it. Consultants assume rewrites are part of the creative process. After all, it’s impossible for someone to get into your head to write about your expertise with 100% accuracy, right? Um, wrong. In fact, it *is* possible for a writer to get into your head and capture your expertise with 100% accuracy. How? You both pick up the phone and write your content together. It’s that simple. Then rewrites become a thing of the past. That’s because the two of you will be in sync—not out of sync. Alice Cooper is more than happy to welcome theatrical nightmares into his presentations . . . Just make sure you don’t welcome any rewrite nightmares into your own presentations, okay? ✍️ I’m Tom, premium ghostwriter for B2B consultants and creatives.

The question that made me rethink my live stream strategy: "What would have to be true?" A question I learned from renowned business strategist Roger Martin, I've found it to be useful for thinking strategically about a live stream production and the community we serve, especially when we address this question to three key areas: 1) Our Team: What would have to be true about our strengths and values? 2) Our Audience and Sponsors: What would have to be true about their expectations and needs? 3) Our Competitors or Alternatives: What would have to be true about other options available to our community? This question helps us think deeply about our idea, work together without arguing, and reach an agreement with confidence.
