Transmission is easy. Communication is hard. Leaders talk and talk and talk ... but is anyone listening? #corporatestorytelling #storytelling #leadership

Most strategies are poorly understood and, as a result, poorly executed. This episode of the podcast explains why and what you can do about it

Being good at talking about stuff doesn’t mean you’re good at communicating stuff. Leaders need a lot more help to understand this and change their commutation behaviour. #storypoweredcommunication

Part of the power of stories is that they don’t try to persuade people. Stories are an invitation to understand another’s perspective.

Are there other eligible businesses out there still waiting for their JobKeeper payments to start? End-of-month payroll due in a few days and the stress is high - how will I pay my team? #JobKeeper
Looking forward to talking with @trevoryoung on @tickertvau later today about communicating in a crisis ... using story to share meaning and data.
The COVID-19 crisis represents a flashpoint for many businesses. Communication is always important, but even more so right now. Join me on BRAND BUILDERS on @tickertvau today where I'm talking to storytelling experts @markaschenk and Ben Hart. 1pm HERE: bit.ly/3c86Rl9

The stories your people share are like the pixels of your culture. The stories your customers share are the pixels of your brand. #businessstorytelling #storytelling #anecdote

In a few weeks time, I’ll be in Sydney to run Anecdote’s last public workshops for 2019. Head to buff.ly/2jtiH0k for more information. It would be great to see you there.
I’m in a train from Berlin to Prague. An elderly NZ couple sitting nearby are regailing some Brazilian tourists with examples of how racist Australia is. Our reputation is spreading. An embarrassing time to be an Australian abroad.

I land in Berlin tomorrow for 5 days. Looking for advice/company to explore this amazing city.
