This post is the last of a 3-part bit on stories and their importance.

• Part 1: Share your story.

• Part 2: Share our story.

• Part 3: you're here now, what's the story of now?

My inspiration for writing these articles came from the work of Marshall Ganz. Ganz believed stories speak to the heart of people. Leadership storytelling speaks to the hearts of those in your charge.

1. First, you've shared your story of self-development. You've stated what happened in your life that you are here to steward our mission and lead us.

2. Second, you shared our story. Like the sage, you've shared the history of our tribe and our tribe's values.

Now, this story is the call to action. Here, you tell us what we are to do. You ignite within us a fire to go forth and make the change our tribe seeks to make. To quote Ganz:

"We're called to answer the question in a spirit of hope."

The question he refers to is the change we want to make. We are called to make this change in the spirit of hope.

• Hope is what makes us human.

• Hope is what gets us up in the morning.

• Hope is what drives us to do anything worth believing.

• Hope is our belief that we can make something happen and change the world.

To write about hope is to write about the future as if it were the past. Jason Silva presents a spirited, and inspiring, view of what it means to tell the story of now.  

As steward's of the tribe's mission, as a chief storyteller, as our leader, you must present to us an inspired view of the world we seek to create.   So, boss, what do we do now?

"The moment you adopt that vision as truth, it becomes truth." - Jason Silva
