The art and science of storytelling is one of the oldest and most important presentation techniques for communicating complex problems and delivering information in a short period of time for a wide range of audiences. Whether you are a leader trying to close a deal, resolve a conflict, influence investors, lead a charge, or propose a new product or idea, your story sets you apart from the crowd by linking the art of the narrative with the objectives of your listener. When you seek to influence a customer or prospect, your audience wants to clearly believe you and your story.
