July Open Meeting

Hooked!   How Leaders Connect, engage and Inspire with Storytelling.

Stories and storytelling can inspire, influence, motivate and engage people where logic and bullet points may not. Think of your own experience. Isn’t it always the story, the anecdote, the example that you remember long after the event?

Business storytelling is storytelling with a purpose and for results.

Whatever it is you are trying to do in business – whether you are leading people, managing change, influencing the board or building your career, storytelling can help you do it better…that’s a guarantee.

In an informative, fun and inspiring session, Yamini Naidu a global thought leader in storytelling will help you:

• Discover business storytelling – a hot emerging business skill
• Explore the use of storytelling as an influence tool
• Identify applications for storytelling within your business.

We look forward to having you join us for this interactive, informative networking event.
