Some believe that 10,000 hours of practice are what’s needed to become world-class in any field. A master knows everything about their subject, their industry.

Stories can be formed of language, images or even musical notes. Stories make their constituent parts more powerful. They connect emotionally and stick in people’s minds. Storytelling can be used in different roles, whether as part of a creative endeavour, as a coaching tactic, or a way to connect with and get a message across to customers, clients or team members. Our experts discuss powerful communication in these videos.
