Steve Donahue Speaking Topics
An epic organization enthralls employees and captivates customers in a way which superlatives struggle to quantify. But it’s the ancient definition of epic that shows us how to build a company deserving of the modern meaning. Like the heroes of those old poems epic organizations need to be on a quest. Leaders must thrive in constant change and everyone must be completely engaged on their journey. Most importantly, epic organizations need to cultivate a compelling narrative that staff, stakeholders and customers want to play a role in and be the heroes of.
In this inspiring presentation Steve Donahue will share his own epic story to illustrate the cutting edge concepts of Narrative Intelligence as a bridge to the future. You will learn how to embed personal and organizational values within stories to guide your career or company during times of groundbreaking change.
