Business Acumen
Build Trust. Tell the Stories Employees and Customers really need to hear by Babette Ten Haken

This Meeting Will be Online Only

BabetteTenHakenedited.jpeg  Do your internal and external customers trust the stories you tell? Are these stories actually use- or business cases which stop, just when they need to continue? Courageous and compelling storytelling is your key to business growth: acquiring, serving and retaining customers, partners, stakeholders and your colleagues: the internal customers you serve.

Explore the key elements of legendary storytelling. Rediscover your own Signature Stories, your legends, residing in the stories you currently dismiss as unimportant or bury because these stories are associated with workplace toxicity. By leveraging co-created storytelling, across the organization, successfully reflect the voices of employees, stakeholders and clients. The voices you can design and innovate new products, services and systems around. Leverage a storytelling culture as part of your compelling human capital strategy. When you continuously connect your story to everyone else’s story, you co-create Trust: the most powerful employee and customer experience of all. One of the most powerful human experiences of all. To get to where you need to go, Together.
