Harry L. Davis Center for Leadership Leadership Storytelling
Practice the essentials of leadership storytelling.
Leadership Storytelling, styled as The Story You Tell, is a three-part leadership storytelling series designed to equip leaders with the essentials of storytelling that will inspire and influence others. Each event will explore the art and science of storytelling in connection to how leaders can use it to be more effective communicators that drive organizational success. The series will culminate in a storytelling event. To be eligible to perform, participants must attend at least one of the workshops in the series.
