Voice archetype

The Storyteller

Narrative-driven voice. Scenes, characters, lessons by example.

Best for: Founders with 10+ years of stories, executive coaches, anyone whose work has memorable moments.

What the voice sounds like

The Storyteller leads with a scene. The lesson is implicit in what happened, not stated upfront. Posts read like the start of a chapter, a specific Tuesday morning, a particular client, a sentence someone said. The reader pulls the meaning out themselves, which makes it stick. Hooks lean on concrete details (a name, a place, a number) rather than claims.

Tone

narrative, observational, dry rather than enthusiastic

open with scene-setting, dialogue-heavy when relevant, lesson at the end (or implied), short paragraphs

Example posts in this voice

Tuesday morning, 2018. Our biggest client called and said 'we're done'. No reason given. I drove to their office anyway. Two hours later we had the contract back, three years longer. The thing that turned it: I asked one question and shut up for forty minutes. They told me what I should have asked six months earlier.
