Leaders are people of influence, carrying the privilege (and responsibility) of making a positive, lasting difference in the lives of the people around them. Inspiring and encouraging. Sharing insights and shifting perspectives. That’s what leaders do. But in today’s distracted, remote, fast-paced world, it can be a challenge to engage in a way that fosters trust, meaningful connection and transformation.

Thankfully, there’s a way leaders can reliably connect with, captivate, and move any audience. A superpower available right now to engage and make the difference leaders can make. Stories, along with the ability to choose and use them effectively, are that superpower. Through this presentation, leaders learn why stories work to captivate and transform, what makes a story powerful, and how to collect and craft stories for influence and impact. When leaders inspire, encourage or teach, perspective changes. Possibility changes. The world changes.
