Leading with Stories with Mark Carpenter

Today on the Management Development Unlocked podcast, Eric is speaking with guest Mark Carpenter. Mark is the co-author of the book Master Storytelling and teaches a workshop about that topic. The book is designed to help us identify experiences in our lives that we can turn into stories to teach, lead, sell, and inspire. It’s all about taking real-life experiences and turning them into something where you can lead your team, teach important principles, or help inspire the actions that you want from your team in a more personal and impactful way.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

1. Why storytelling is a developed skill and why storytelling is important for connecting to people as a manager.
2. How you could use storytelling to create a connection with your new team as a new manager and why new managers don’t tap into storytelling.
3. Why storytelling helps build empathy and helps people remember what you’ve discussed better.
4. How you can develop the ability to tell stories by looking at your everyday life.
5. Eric’s speed round questions for Mark.
