As business owners and leaders, we face a common challenge: how to convince the right people to work with us. Trust is the biggest hurdle. You need to convince prospective employees why they should work with you. Likewise, you need to tell the right internal story to keep your people invested and engaged. In The Great Resignation and Quiet Quitting age, how do you do this?
Through storytelling. After all, it’s no accident we tell parables to children to help them make sense of the world. As humans, we understand life through stories. In this talk/interactive workshop, Michael Ashley will teach you how to deliver a story to attract and retain top talent. After all, your people are still a company’s most valuable assets.
