RECAP TIPS

​

  • Storytelling is confidence.
  • It’s empathy and authenticity; it’s human nature.
  • It’s learning how to communicate in a way that isn’t contrived, isn’t full of jargon or professional clichés.
  • It makes us ask better questions, and listen more closely.
  • It’s not based on rules or formulas.
  • Storytelling is about being vulnerable and sharing a piece of yourself.
  • It’s breaking free of boring chit-chat or bulleted PowerPoints.
