Story 10x
From the Impossible to the Inevitable
If you want to disrupt, inspire, and persuade—go beyond the data. You need a story. You can’t ask your team to invest in a vision or a strategy they don’t fully understand—especially when you’re challenging the status quo. Things are moving so fast, people don’t know what story they are in anymore. Getting clear on the narrative is how you navigate hypergrowth, change, and transformation. Michael Margolis, a top storytelling expert and advisor to Facebook, Google, and Uber will share his breakthrough storytelling framework for communicating disruptive ideas.
Great Leaders are Great Storytellers
Become the leader everyone is waiting for you to be. Most people think of storytelling as “once upon” fairy tales or how to tell a better anecdote. In reality, narrative is a leadership mindset and capability—how to sell the future, humanize complex issues, and increase perceived value, often in the face of uncertainty. Michael Margolis,
a top storytelling expert and advisor to Facebook, Google, and Uber will share his breakthrough storytelling framework for next-level trust and communications. You’ll learn how to inspire and influence across all levels of your organization, and increase your ability to deliver on the promise of business transformation.
Behind Every Product is a Story
People don’t buy your product or service, they buy the story that’s attached to it. Every great marketer and salesperson understands this secret. You can’t start with the data—the story will be dead on arrival. Instead, you need to demystify and humanize what are often complex, technical business solutions. With context and emotion. That’s the power of great storytelling. Especially if your product is disruptive and challenges existing norms or habits. Michael Margolis, a top storytelling expert and advisor
to Facebook, Google, and Uber will share his breakthrough storytelling model for marketers and sales teams.
