Change Management and it’s relationship with Emotions

Change is accepted when you are emotionally invested in it For anyone who is a parent, having a child was perhaps one of the biggest change you have experienced. Yet, we love our children, look after them, want the best for them and never ever feel the lack of motivation to change ourselves for their best. The same is not true for…

The role of Emotion in Sales Storytelling A couple of years ago I had just finished running a Storytelling Workshop for a multinational computer technology corporation when I felt rather disappointed with the outcome.

Storytelling : Tell a Story to Share Knowledge & Inspire

Storytelling is not only an inspiring but also a great knowledge sharing tool. Here is one of my favourite story from the Healthcare Environment *Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, 1990’s.

Personal Value Storytelling: Let us go around the table and Introduce ourselves

Introducing ourselves at a Boardroom Table especially when our bosses are seated at the same table is nothing but stressful.

Video Storytelling: The Story I will never tell

Video Storytelling for Corporates Recently, I was asked by a client, “So, what do you keep in mind when you develop a Story?” It was an interesting question that led me to write down points, which I believe are the reasons behind why my clients returned and gave me the opportunity to do some sensational video storytelling work in Singapore, Vietnam, China,…

Change Management Storytelling : Indra Nooyi on Change & Challenges

A great example of Change Management Storytelling Indra Nooyi, PepsiCo Chairman and CEO is asked about Change in an interview with Doug McMillon Walmart President and CEO.

Learning and Development and its sour relationship with cost cutting. ” Sorry Anjali, the business priority is else where at the moment. So, all learning and development initiatives are on hold’ ” When we get busy learning and development is the first to get out of our agenda” These are just a couple of sentences I have heard in the recent past…

Change Management Storytelling: Don’t use the Word Change

Change Management Storytelling can derail due to the use of word Change I am working with a group of Healthcare Practitioners on Change Management Storytelling The Change is, we will now work with new hospitals in our cluster and share resources.
