Summary

Great storytelling is in practical terms a prerequisite for great leadership today. The greatest leaders of our time, from Steve Jobs, to Bill Gates, to Ratan Tata have all displayed extraordinary skill at owning both their personal and their business’ narratives. These leaders all have one trait in common – the ability to galvanise their workforce into swift, meaningful action that delivers impactful outcomes.

A common misconception about executive presence and storytelling skills is that these are innately mysterious abilities that you are born with. The truth is that these are both eminently learnable skills that business leaders can train themselves to become better at by identifying areas of strength and weakness, and working to improve on them persistently.

This intensive 2-day programme will debunk the common myths around executive presence. You will learn to acquire invaluable skills that are often misconstrued as personality traits. The programme will also show you that the critical combination of business storytelling and executive presence is key to inspiring confidence, motivating commitment, and enabling agency in others.
