‘Despite being a professional novelist, I did not appreciate the value of storytelling in business until I was a fellow at a United Nations partner organization. There, I realized that some of the best content came after and between presentations, informally—when people told stories. I was able to apply my decade of experience with fiction to developing and applying strategy, to executive education, and to helping business leaders find their own best stories and tell them more effectively in talks, in pitching ideas, influencing meetings, and steering organisations.’ – JYOTI GUPTARA, AUTHOR, SPEAKER, & BUSINESS STORYTELLING EXPERT
