summary
Argues that workplace narratives literally shape product outcomes and offers concrete tools: neuroscience-framed coaching, a story tracker benchmark, Cartman’s drama triangle (hero/victim/villain) and David Emerald’s empowerment triangle (coach/creator/challenger), plus the line (below/above) and the 15% rule for small experiments. Cites research that ~80% of our stories live below the line and that brains now absorb ~5x more data than 25 years ago. Shares real results: a long‑running VP client shifts from reactive to aware and sustains better team alignment.
