Today, more and more change leaders and organisations are recognizing the power of narrative and story as a core leadership discipline.

Are you developing the organization? Tell a story. Inviting customers and markets to engage with your offerings? Tell a story. Are you looking for powerful ways to move people to the future together? Tell a story!

In this upcoming ChangeTalk, David Hutchens will introduce us to the power of narrative language for creating powerful connection and engagement. We will learn to identify the “narrative assets” that we should be telling about our most important work in the world.

This ChangeTalk is presented by ChangemakersForward, a community for every one of us changemakers, who are making a positive difference in the world, every day.
