What’s Your Story? The Lasting Impact of Storytelling for Leaders
Frantz Berthaud, Market Director of Oncology, The Hospitals of Providence
Many cultures today have an oral tradition where storytelling has been used as a powerful tool wielded for influence and persuasion. Scientific literature speaks of opinion often being more polarizing than persuasive, and data as evidence is difficult to digest. Crafting a compelling story is vital to a leader’s success both at the beginning and years into their careers. Using different philosophical models like Aristotle’s modes of persuasion, seven narrative patterns and Freitag’s Pyramid, this session will leave early careerists with practical tools to craft their own leadership narratives that are holistic, deliberate and strategic.

In this presentation, participants will be invited to understand how to create belonging in their team and organization, recognize the value of community and become even more courageous leaders!
