#WECAN: Leadership and Storytelling – How to put storytelling into practice
#WECAN (Women Empowered through Coaching and Networking) project aims to enhance the resilience and growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by building the leadership skills, capabilities and opportunities of women in the Leeds City Region.

Storytelling has the power to engage, influence and motivate your employees and peers, but how do you do it well?

In this session you will:

  • Look at the role of storytelling in leadership
  • Identify the three parts of telling a story
  • Think about our audiences, potential stories and the channels we could use
