Description
People in business are conditioned to believe they must communicate in a rational, objective and logical manner, without emotion, if their point is to be accepted. The reality is, however, that stories engage both hearts and minds and are the most effective means to engage and persuade. The Storytelling Pocketbook shows readers how to use stories to get their ideas across and make a deeper connection with their audience. With practical exercises throughout, the book shows you how to create your own story frameworks, and explores the different settings in which you might use them, eg to ignite organisational change, to transfer knowledge, to build brands, to develop people.

And all movements are based on a great story. This book will help you become the best storyteller you can be. And it’s fun too!”
