Thank you     1 day Leading with Story - How Leaders Engage and Persuade in a Complex World   Introduction   Today, leaders of organisations are increasingly using the power of story telling to inform, inspire and influence their teams. With a mastery of this craft, leaders are engaging both internal and external stakeholders more effectively in communicating abstract concepts, projects and managing change.
