(E13) The business storytelling expert Janet Murray

Leaders with impact

19-02-2024 • 40 mins

One of the most powerful ways a leader can connect with others is through storytelling. But it can be hard to understand how you apply that to your everyday leadership approach, especially if you’re someone who is number or action orientated.

But storytelling is at the heart of great strategy and is how the most impactful leaders take people with them.

In today’s episode I’m delighted to be talking with Janet Murray, an expert in storytelling and that all-important connection to business strategy.

We talk about:

  • what storytelling in leadership really means
  • the problem with powerpoint presentations
  • how to embed storytelling into your communications
  • the role of AI
  • strategic storytelling
  • thought leadership content
  • developing your own content plan
  • credibility
  • leadership brands
  • how to get started
