SUMMARY:Professional Development Event “Unleash the Power of Storytelling: Win Hearts\, Change Minds\, Get Results”
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nEvery organization\, be it a Fortune 500 company\, a nonprofit or a startup\, needs a story that captures the “why” beyond the “what” and communicates your purpose\, brand and relevance in a way that’s unique and compelling.

Then you’ll have the chance to construct\, refine and share your own story. \nFeb. 22\, 6:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. \nRegister here. \nAbout Rob Biesenbach \nThrough workshops\, consulting and books\, Rob Biesenbach helps leaders communicate with purpose\, power and impact so they can achieve their business goals. \nRob is a former vice president at Ogilvy PR\, press secretary to the Ohio Attorney General and a nonprofit and association executive. He’s also a Second City trained actor who brings a little show business style to the subject of business communications. \nHis latest book is Unleash the Power of Storytelling: Win Hearts\, Change Minds\, Get Results\, on which this presentation is based.
