Stories
Stories are the best way to think about and communicate what has been, what is now and what could be.
Explain your disruptive idea
We listen to stories when we won’t listen to facts
Stories make the abstract concrete
The shortest and simplest explanation of a complex idea is almost always a story
Stories can contrast the past, present and future stories to emphasise the impact and opportunity
Learn
Listen to the best leaders you know
