Who they are

Dolan is the author of Story Intelligence, a book that sets out a method for finding, building and telling stories in business settings. One part of the method is a three-part close, which the vault calls the ending: a bridge, a link that states the message and a pause.

In the article on spoilers, her method supplies the teller's side of the question. A storyteller using it chooses the destination in advance and tells the listener where the story is going.

Key ideas

A planned ending has three parts: a bridge, a link that states the message and a pause.

A teller can announce the point of a story and still hold an audience.
