The Storyteller in Us
The diplomat is first and foremost a master storyteller. It doesn’t mean that the stories they tell are fictional; it just means that they are wonderful at capturing an audience’s attention and making even the most mundane sound interesting.
The master diplomat is one who can sell any idea. The story is essentially irrelevant. His power comes from the way he weaves his story, persuading his listener to trust and believe in him.
The good thing is that there is no single, straightforward way to tell a story. The same way that a singer modulates his pitching by controlling his breathing, so does a diplomat change his intonation depending on the story that is being told – conveying sorrow, excitement, facts, persuasion, information, and disclosure all through changing the pitch of his storytelling voice.
