Story plays an integral part in your brand, delivery, and reach.

If you can’t tell your story, you won't attract those who need your services & would love to support what you’re doing—your potential followers, clients, partners and investors. Storytelling informs your most powerful communication, because it runs deep - it educates, resonates and it sticks. Humans NEED to hear stories, and share stories. 

PART ONE: Tuesday 28th June, YTM BONUS Insight; Why storytelling matters to your business?

Stories told coherently from clarity of purpose, principles or as entertainment, act as a conduit to curiosity and truth-seeking to enrich, transform, support and save lives.

From this event you will get 5 top takeaways that you can apply to your business needs:

• The science behind why story is our most compelling communication

• The importance of purpose and principles in business to inform effective, contextualised storytelling

• How to employ clarity and curiosity to enrich and enliven your storytelling and build trust

• How to wrap story around your insights, data and statistics, so the facts stick

• The story arc and why and how it works

• Language, cadence and structure and their role in story craft

Our speaker, Peter Dempsey (from Adelaide) has faced incredible challenges in his life and business, and found a way to make things possible.

So as the year begins, we understand you could be feeling some resistance to start the year again.
