How to Tap into the Power of Storytelling for Entrepreneurial Success

Every entrepreneur has a back story. Your personal narrative helps people connect with you, and therefore your company, on a deeper, more meaningful level. Simply put, your audiences care less about what you do — your product or service. What they really want to know is why you do it.

In this webinar, we’ll cover the fundamentals of storytelling: What’s your WHY?; Who are you talking to?; What are you telling them?; and, How are you saying it? We’ll also share the best practices of thought leaders and help you think about the ways you can share your story in a noisy, ever-changing information ecosystem.

And if yours is a later-stage company, you will also benefit from learning how to bring your audiences along on your founder’s journey through effective storytelling. Just ask legends like Richard Branson (Virgin), Phil Knight (Nike) or Howard Schultz (Starbucks) who never stopped using the power of stories to fuel their success.
