Let’s Talk Story: The Three Stories That Build Trust, Belonging, and Influence
In this session, participants will learn a practical framework for the three types of stories every leader needs to master: stories that create connection, stories that build credibility, and stories that influence action. Rather than asking women to speak against their natural leadership style, this framework shows how to leverage storytelling as a strategic advantage—allowing women to lead with both empathy and impact, authenticity and authority.
