The Storytelling
Leader
Storytelling is the most influential of all the arts and invaluable in business. Apple founder Steve Jobs said, “The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller. The storyteller sets the vision, values, and agenda of an entire organisation that is to come”. However, most people find it hard to master the art and craft of telling a good story. The JBS Storytelling Leader is an online, interactive learning experience that has been embraced by the world’s most influential organisations. It is the fastest – and most fun – way for leaders to activate their voice of influence.
