The Power of Executive Storytelling
Storytelling lies at the foundation of the human experience. It is a tool that builds connections, conveys values and removes the barriers of culture, age and lifestyle. Chuck explains how executives can structure stories to drive company performance among internal and external audiences. For employees, storytelling can boost morale, enhance a sense of belonging, and increase productivity. To external audiences, stories about the company or CEO can reinforce the business’ value proposition, attract customers, and heighten investor interest.
