Storytelling is an essential business skill. We use stories in a variety of ways to attract customers, partners, investors, and build our team. Your audience needs to understand why you do what you do, and your powerful storytelling skills must emotionally hook them. A pie chart can’t communicate emotionally the way stories do. This book will teach you how to put your listeners in a “Mind Movie” so that they see it, taste it, smell it, touch it, and most of all, feel it—so that your leadership becomes magnetic, memorable, and impactful to drive the results you seek.
