Unlock the secrets of impactful leadership through storytelling with Andrea Sampson, CEO of Talk Boutique and TED-trained speaking coach.

You'll discover Andrea's "story spine" framework, a powerful tool that simplifies storytelling into essential components like environment, characters, and resolution, making it accessible for leaders at any stage. We also cover common storytelling pitfalls, offering practical tips to avoid mistakes like irrelevant details and disconnected narratives, all while emphasizing the importance of contrast and tension to keep your audience engaged.
