Stop always leading with data. Leaders need to share stories too! A great leadership story builds trust, inspires, and creates connection. We all know that stories are a powerful way to communicate and connect with people, but sometimes it's hard to see how we can use them at work. Storytelling can help become better leaders and help us achieve our goals.
I hosted Michelle Carnahan, President of Thirty Madison, who shares a powerful storytelling strategy and how it can help you become a better leader and help your achieve your goals.
Thirty Madison is the premier healthcare company for people living with chronic conditions. After spending more than 25 years in healthcare and treatment innovation, Michelle joined Thirty Madison because of her commitment to patients and her desire to improve chronic care.
Her background in strategy, marketing, and operations at Sanofi and Eli Lilly allowed her to see how having access to the care patients needed changed their lives for the better.
