From folklore to fables and legends, stories are at the core of human evolution. From the outset, we have learned the ability to share our experience and feelings in order that we can teach, learn, warn and even motivate. Stories stretch generations and carry over time. They can inspire and connect us to the past, present or future. They always encourage creativity in imagination.

The storytelling leader is a celebrated author of the story and a skilful story teller. Highly proficient in this skill, they utilise storytelling as a way to engage others through emotion, words or imagery, resulting in the listener becoming connected and invested.
