    About the Course

    Storytelling is an essential part of leadership. Effective leaders communicate to inspire talent to excel; to partner with investors and
    communities; to engage with customers and clients and to grow their impact in the world as part of a global community. Cultivating an
    authentic, trustworthy and compelling narrative is vital to a leader’s success. This course helps leaders find their own story through personal
    branding; develop storytelling success with all constituencies; initiate an effective voice for crisis; interact well through social and third party
    media; and communicate a vision for innovation.

    Great course on outlining the importance of storytelling to become a more effective leader. I just saw examples of this used in a beginning of year kick-off meeting, and it made the executive that much more relatable.

    Great information. Several months later I want a refresher since the material was very good, but I don't think the assignments were involved enough for the material to sink in long term (at least not for me).

    This course was really valuable for me to learn about the structure of story and power of story. In particular, peer review of the 3 challenges were effective to learn as the reviewer view points. Thank you.

    Quick modules that give insight and perspective on how storytelling matters in managerial circumstances, and what perspectives may work when considering responses to disasters big and small.

    Interesting course! Very useful information. But it's a little difficult to manage 3 writing tasks simultaneously, it would be good to warn students about big task at the end of the course.
