STORY MASTERY - Storytelling for Leaders

Business storytelling is the new superpower of the 21st century. It is the fuel that drives compelling results. The authentic, well-told story will always wow and you can learn how. Whatever it is you are trying to do in business, whether you are leading people, managing change, influencing the board or building your career — storytelling will help you… that’s a guarantee.

Discover stories from leaders like you, who have applied these simple steps and achieved career-defining business results. Storytelling is not a natural gift, but a skill you can learn.

Today stories are as critical as data. Data on its own is no longer enough when you want to influence and inspire. ‘Show me the money’ reinvents itself as ‘Tell me the story’. Are you ready for the storytelling revolution? This book is your first step.

Yamini attended our all-company meeting and showed us not only the importance but also the impact of storytelling. She engaged the whole group from start to finish. She did it in such a wonderful way that had us all thinking hard about how we could tell our own stories; after all, we all have an interesting story to tell!

Allison Rossiter, Managing Director Roche Diagnostics Australia
Yamini is an exceptional speaker who shares her story- telling expertise in an engaging and fun way.

John Roberts, CEO, Leadership Collective
Yamini led our leadership team on a storytelling journey which was remarkable in both its insight and impact. Her ability to identify and distil the key elements of a situation, and package these into an engaging narrative, drawing on emotion and instinct as well as logic, is unique in my experience. Yamini transforms the mundane to the inspiring, thereby bringing to life both the story and the storyteller.

Grant Kelley, Chief Executive Officer, Vicinity Centres Limited
Yamini spoke at our 2019 conference in June and the feedback overwhelmingly indicated that Yamini should have been a keynote! To address this, we invited her on our August lunch roadshow around Australia and had our biggest numbers in all locations. Yamini’s engaging and humorous style made her stories memorable, complimented by her warm and friendly nature. Her session on storytelling, with examples woven throughout, helped association professionals realise the potential stories can have including demonstrating the value of being a member.

Toni Brearley, Chief Executive Officer, Australasian Society of Association Executives
Yamini is to storytelling as apple is to pie.
