You planned, you rehearsed your presentation and you […]

    THE RISE OF FOLLOWERSHIP

    THE RISE OF FOLLOWERSHIP In Praise of Followers – Robert Kelley stated in his Harvard Business Review article that effective followers are well-balanced and responsible adults who can succeed without strong leadership.

    Why Leaders Should Tell More Stories Paula Smith CSP (Expert in Presentation Intelligence ®)

    Thanks to neuroscience we have learned a lot over the past few years about just how powerful stories can be.
