Q&A with Judy Rosemarin, Questions 5 and 6:
Q: Are there any current uses of storytelling that repel you or that you feel are inappropriate?
A: Gossip or false advertising.
Q: Your Web site states: “In today’s tough and turbulent times, Judy has a methodology that helps executives move quickly into the memories of interviewers, to distinguish themselves from the competition.” Without giving away too many trade secrets, can you provide a taste of this methodology for readers?
A: My years as a journalist, executive coach and now, for the past five years in community theater as an actor and director, my methodology is based on intentionality, audience-centricity and authenticity. People can be more of themselves when they share a true story, (albeit well considered and crafted) than when they have to put together some artificial elevator pitch and sound like everyone else. There are no two perfectly similar CFOs, and if there were 20 in a room, each would have his or her own brand and stories. My methodology is to play to a person’s strengths while using proven approaches to unearth and rebirth their stories.
