Telling stories is a form of love. As Neal Foard shared in this episode, “It helps when a leader is able to communicate to the people that work for them, that they care about them. This is the power of stories. I don’t have to literally say to you I care about you…because of the stories I choose to tell, I am the type of person that cares about the fate of others.” Neal ignites the storytelling ability in others with his course, Storyfire. But more than his course, Neal’s take on storytelling and leadership is a way of life. It’s a way of being.
