PRESENTATION - Shawn Callahan, Founder of Anecdote
Topic: Crafting Success: Harnessing Business Storytelling for Culture, Leadership, and Strategy
In 1999, when Shawn started in business storytelling, it was not yet a popular concept and was met with some scepticism. However, over the past 20 years, narrative techniques have become a crucial tool for leaders and salespeople alike. This session will begin with an overview of story work and its potential applications within an organisation.
From there, we will explore three specific areas where it is particularly effective:
1) Culture change
2) Leadership development
3) Strategy implementation.
