Each story we tell shapes how we see ourselves and how others see us. And yet there are some stories that have more potential in showing who we are and what we stand for. Stories in that sense are like stars in the night sky: every constellation has a couple of the brightest stars that play the key role in defining the shape of the constellation. In this series of webinars you will discover 4 core stories that can help you show yourself and others around you who you are, what you stand for, and why you do the things you do. Apart from theory on these stories there will be practice in break out sessions so get your microphone and headphones ready!
