Join us for a FREE webinar Friday 2/19 at noon ET to learn one of my favorite Power Tools from two of my favorite experts in storytelling as a leadership skill: Surabhi Lal, Chief Impact Officer at Luminary, and Megan Finnerty, Pulitzer winning journalist and founder of Gannett’s national Storytelling Project. Your story is your power and your truth.
Mastering storytelling can help any leader mobilize people toward a common goal. A good storyteller tells a good story. A great storyteller lets you see yourself in the story. Stories are the way most people learn best. A leader who can bring her people into a story they all buy into can build an A-team.
