Parables and Analogies: Using Stories to Convey Your Message, with Sue Badeau

You have an important message. You’ve distilled it to the 3-5 most important points. You want your audience to reflect upon it, remember it and be transformed by it. Telling stories that connect heart, mind and spirit is one of the most effective ways to do this. Sue considers herself a storyteller even more than a speaker. She will share her tips on selecting and using just the right stories for your message and audience.
