EP #275 The Worst Acronym You Have to Know
I’m a big fan of acronyms, but not this one. 🤣
Storytelling has been the most powerful form of communication since the beginning of time. Yet, we don’t acknowledge it in our work.
Most “in office” communication is pretty lousy these days. You could blame it on remote work, social media, the next generation, whatever…but what really lacks is emotion. Storytelling elicits this.
Business requires you to communicate well and there is a lot of talk about empathy amongst team members. This tells me we need to be better storytellers with our people.
This episode will help be a better storyteller and colleague.
Have a “gloing” rest of your week. 🌟
