In this episode I am thrilled to be joined by Amanda Johnson, the Story Oracle, who unveils the profound impact of storytelling in leadership and business. Starting from her initial career aspirations in journalism and history education, Amanda shares her evolution into a storytelling consultant. Her journey unfolds through experiences of teaching and the realisation of storytelling’s power in connecting and transforming people. This episode captures the essence of how stories not only define personal journeys but also enhance business communication and influence.
The conversation delves into the technicalities of crafting narratives, revealing why storytelling is crucial for executives and entrepreneurs alike. Using her unique retreats, Amanda demonstrates how connecting with the personal “why” behind a story can overcome storytelling barriers. She emphasises how even high-performing leaders can benefit from revealing their authentic selves to influence others effectively. The discussion moves into the application of storytelling in larger organisations and the balance between storytelling and product-focused communication, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in unlocking the power of their narrative.
