Telling a powerful story is one of the most important actions you can take in your business.

Never before has storytelling been more needed. Even though we are more digitally connected than in any previous time in history, we are experiencing a pandemic of disconnection. Even though we have more virtual gatherings and communities, more people feel lonely and isolated than ever. While the world experiences multiple crises on a scale that has never been seen in ­human ­history - climate change, the global pandemic, leadership incompetence, ­poverty, and social injustice - we need hope and meaning more than ever. And storytelling delivers just that.

In this book you will discover that mastering storytelling is not confined to the lucky few. It is not dependent upon an innate skill set that you are either born with or not. It is not a cultural predisposition. It is not confined by racial or gender limitations. It is, in fact, achievable for all. It is a matter of ­cultivating specific skills, awareness, and intention.
