Lunch & Learn: Storytelling for Impact
Event description
Have you ever wanted to have loyal customers like Apple fans who are keen to wait in lines outside its stores every time the company launches a new iPhone?
Or have you ever wondered why it's so much fun to watch an entire season of La Casa De Papel (or your favourite Netflix show!) over the weekend while it can be such a tedious job to remain focused in a one-hour business meeting?!
Join us in this session to be introduced to the art and science of storytelling! Powerful communication means that can elevate your game when it comes to engaging with your clients and stakeholders and motivate them to take the action you desire.
Key Takeaways
