Storyboarding
Drawing on her experience as a journalist and television producer at the CBC, as an advisor to politicians on Parliament Hill in Canada, and as the owner of Best Way Communications, Deborah Gyapong shares insights into what makes a good leader, how to manage stress, and how to persevere in following your dreams.
What is a “Storyboard”?
A storyboard is a plan that lays out how pictures and words will work together in a movie, a documentary, or an advertising campaign. It can resemble a comic strip with “balloons” for the script, or a series of rough sketches with text underneath. The simplest form of storyboard has two columns. The first column lists the ideas or the script, and the second column matches the proposed pictures with that script.
What does storyboarding have to do with stress management?
A storyboard helps you become the “director” and “producer” of the movie of your life. Studies show that people experience stress when they feel as if they are not in control, and instead are merely reacting to one external demand after another.
Storyboarding pulls together some of the best leadership training tools of goal setting, affirmations and the creative use of forethought or visualization. Storyboarding is easy, fun and can help you find the motivation to do the pro-active things you already know you “should” be doing to reduce stress.
What if I’m too busy to Storyboard?
If you think you are too busy to storyboard, then you are probably too busy not to! We get consumed with the things that we “have to do”, we run like hamsters in wheels and drop the beneficial activities that we can easily postpone. Such activities might include getting adequate exercise, preparing healthful meals, undertaking self-improvement projects such as language learning or getting and advanced degree, spending quality time with our families, even simply carving out time to have fun.
Where do these ideas come from?
As a television producer with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Deborah Gyapong learned how to storyboard documentaries. After immersing herself in the leadership training field, she realized that storyboarding was a fun and simple way to pull together all that she has learned over the years about leadership and personal transformation.
