This presentation is for those looking for memorable and compelling ways to engage their audiences. It will introduce you to the basic elements of epic stories, common characters and plots, and ways to incorporate these elements into selling your products / services and yourself. Participants will leave this interactive Roundtable with a keen sense of how to capture others' attention and imagination with storytelling.
