Keynote: The Three Career Stories Everyone Needs (and how to tell them)
Careers are one of the most beautiful things you can create in your life. You get to decide how it looks, feels, and what to say about it. Stories are a powerful way to know what to do and say about our work. In addition, storytelling (the stories we tell about ourselves to others) is an effective way to help people understand who we are and how we can contribute as an employee. Stories make a difference. If you want to be better understood at the job you want, investing in your story skills is valuable, fun, and career-boosting.
