This book is for the storyteller that lives within you.

May the stories you choose to tell be good ones.

It was Thanksgiving weekend. Six thousand miles away, people were eating turkey and mashed potatoes, sharing what they were grateful for, and passing out on couches with the dull roar of football playing in the background.

I was doing none of those things, because I was in... Slovenia.

Ill be honest, Im in Slovenia is not necessarily something I ever imagined I would say, but I was there to speak at a marketing conference about storytelling, and my husband, Michael, and I decided to turn a work trip into a brief vacation.

Let me pause for a moment to say, if you feel like youve heard this story before, its because those are the opening lines of Stories That Stick, my book about the power of storytelling in business. These were the moments right before I heard the greatest sales story of my life about a bottle of cologne and before I walked out of that Slovenian shop with my husband wanting to launch his own cologne empire.

And while I love that story... I didnt tell you the whole thing.

Despite a deal that Michael and I had made not to buy anything on our vacation (not the best deal, looking back), I had been lured into the shop with the cologne in the first place by a contraband pair of shoes.

These were not just any shoes; they were a pair of sparkly, glittery shoes. A pair whose sequins were perfectly positioned to catch the light in the window and the eye of someone like me.
