Episode description
Do you feel like your MBA story is a bit bland? Or uninspiring compared to the applicant profiles you see online? What if you haven't overcome insurmountable odds or accomplished something amazing?
Darren explores the possibilities of kishōtenketsu - a four act story structure used by Japanese and Chinese writers for centuries. What makes this story structure interesting is that it relies on contrast - not conflict - to generate interest.
Kishōtenketsu in 4 acts:
- Ki (start)
- Shō (development)
- Ten (twist)
- Ketsu (conclusion)
Listen on for ways you can use this Eastern story structure to keep admissions officers' attention AND demonstrate your self-awareness.
