From A People Perspective

Marsha Shandur and I talk about how to apply the science, magic and art of using storytelling to creating a captivating employer brand and levelling up the employee experience. Given that storytelling is the oldest form of communication, our brains are hardwired to respond better to those who communicate effectively. Marsha has coached some of the most amazing speakers and helped countless organizations level up their communication skills, here's some of the wonderfully nice things they've said about working with her.
