020 - Storytelling for Leaders - Shawn Callahan

Storytelling in the business setting is a dying art – and that’s a terrible shame. Stories are so incredibly powerful for connecting, sharing information, motivating actions, clarifying direction, enjoying success… But we have become slaves to PowerPoint, charts, dot-points and theoretical lenses. My guest in this episode wants to change all that. Shawn Callahan is a storytelling consultant. He talks us through the benefits of telling great business stories and he steps us through a process that will help us all be better storytellers. And, you guessed it; Shawn is a great storyteller himself. He brings to life all of his insight and advice with the use of powerful, memorable stories. Hang on to your hats - once you listen to this episode you will never see business communication the same way again.
