We are often told what a story should and shouldn’t be, its structure, its journey, its impact. But no one explains us HOW to craft a truly captivating story to not only inspire, but to create lasting change.
A business story, unlike a fairy tale, needs to entice your audience to take concrete action. It must be compelling and leave people forever changed. Harvard Business Review and New York bestselling authors know this little storytelling secret. Do you want to learn it too?
This is not about fairy tales or love stories, this is about business stories. Once you master this storytelling model you can tell a compelling new story every 5 minutes, and about any topic. Learn what has helped companies like Coca Cola sell more, Space Agency Engineers to get policymakers to take action, and Bankers to affect major change.
Remember, it is not the size of your audience that matters, but the impact you leave behind.
