Who needs stories?
When it comes to changing minds, stories are far more interesting and persuasive than assertions and opinions - Mike Adams (author of Seven Stories Every Salesperson Must Tell)
Entrepreneurs, product owners, and leaders are in the business of changing minds.
For entrepreneurs, it’s the minds of customers, investors, and potential talent.
For product owners, it’s the development team, users, and stakeholders.
For leaders, it’s about turning your vision into a narrative that resonates on a personal level.
Something people relate to, feel engaged with, and want to follow.
