Summary A master of transformational storytelling shows how to use stories for any business purpose-including to create buy-in, resolve conflict, and inspire and motivate others. What's your story? It's a question human beings have been asking each other since we first gathered around a campfire to while away the night. Millennia later, the human need for stories hasn't changed. We communicate best and most effectively with stories, whatever our purpose may be. Using his proprietary method, communication consultant Murray Nossel, PhD, teaches business professionals how to uncover, build, and tell impactful stories designed to accomplish specific outcomes. Readers learn how to dig into their memories, hearts, and minds; use sensory details to create maximum impact; drive stories forward with character, dialogue, and plot; and convey stories in ways that help listeners easily connect them with the issue being discussed. A fundamental element of this method is a focus on listening: the ability to hear oneself, as well as the feedback provided by a given audience-because it is the audience's listening that shapes the telling. • Today, storytelling has made the leap from children's nurseries to some of the most influential offices of the Fortune 500 and is being used in business communication. • The author's company, Narativ, serves clients from more than 60 countries, including Facebook, Twitter, Walt Disney Company, HBO, Time Warner, Bloomberg, CIGNA, the Open Society Foundation, UNICEF, and Human Rights Watch • As a clinical psychologist, Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmaker, performer, and educator, Nossel brings deep knowledge and decades of practice to motivate and inspire his audiences
Contributor Bio Murray Nossel, PhD, is the founder and director of Narativ, a firm with offices in New York and London that specializes in storytelling in a business context. He has served as an executive coach at Columbia Business School and teaches his method at the Program of Narrative Medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, London Business School, City University of New York, The New School, Baruch College, Benjamin N.

The Leader Habit Master the Skills You Need to Lead—in Just Minutes a Day Martin Lanik
Summary Habits are powerful. They can lock us into negative behaviors (like snacking and smoking) or train us to act automatically in ways that benefit us (such as putting on a seat belt). Routines quietly undergird large portions of what we do and how we function. Habit formation can speed success in the workplace as well-even in complex areas like leadership. The Leader Habit spotlights 22 essential leadership abilities, breaking them down into a series of small, learnable behaviors. The accompanying 5-minute exercises help you practice each of these new skills until they stick.

Transforming Higher Education provides what you need to face the future head on. Through its proven "Three Horizons" framework, you will: * View today's disruption not with fear, but with curiosity and courage * Initiate and manage difficult strategic discussions among all stakeholders * Build the future into your planning, while respecting current governance * Create and implement a new strategy that makes the future part of the present Transforming Higher Education provides three plausible scenarios for the future of higher education. By exploring what the future might bring, you can better prepare for your role in creating it. Right now, you're looking at unparalleled opportunity. We all are.
