Story Coach Lisa Bloom is the go-to expert on business story-telling. For decades she’s helped entrepreneurs master this important but overlooked skill. In Once Upon a Business, she’s turning her attention from the craft of storytelling to the stories themselves — the densely evocative folk and fairy tales that we’re all exposed to.      In each episode of Once Upon a Business, Lisa reads a fairy or folk tale and then extracts rich business lessons that are applicable for entrepreneurs of all stripes. As she puts it, a tiny tale of nine sentences can encompass worlds.   So, come now. Gather around the fire. Lisa’s about to begin….“One of the lessons, I think, from the story, is never to assume something is over before it's over, never assume that something is finished. There's always pieces that can be pulled together, and we can make something out of almost nothing. I think it's an incredibly important skill for an entrepreneur, for anybody running a business, to know that creating something out of nothing is always possible.”  – Lisa BloomFollowing a successful corporate career, Lisa Bloom became an entrepreneur, author, speaker and coach. She built a global business, Story Coach, supporting corporates, entrepreneurs, and coaches with speaking mastery, leadership capability, and marketing impact.

It's the perfect combination that allows for creativity and innovation and yet does not take us on a wild goose chase, but in fact allows us to begin to build a new world we imagine, brick by brick, step by step.”  – Lisa BloomFollowing a successful corporate career, Lisa Bloom became an entrepreneur, author, speaker and coach.
