Storytelling is one of the most under-rated skills in business. But it is vital getting a point across. It can have data behind it. It can set up a framework for decisions. It can do many of the things that business people think they need to rely on PowerPoint bullet points for. But it does so in a way that makes the implications real and relatable. And that makes you a better, more credible advisor.

But the importance of telling a story has been a vital piece of advice, and the method TAI used to share it with me brought it to life through a story of its own.
