@Duarte's culture has been transformed due to the hard work of Melissa Adams. She built on our existing foundation of story to create resilience that’s helped us through the last few years. HR leaders are soaking up her talk on how to use story for “Building Resiliency in Turbulent Times”. If you’re a member of @SHRM, or attending the @SHRMNorCal conference Oct. 1-3, 2023 in Santa Rosa, pop in to see her session to learn how to build resilience through a story-based culture. conferences.shrm.org/2023-sh…

"Digital fluency is certainly a competency every employee needs if they are to work well with AI-enabled tools. But as promising as AI is, it won’t be able to do everything humans can do, at least not immediately." @PattiSan @CLOmedia chieflearningofficer.com/202…

"When we hear a great story, we’re transported into another world where we can laugh, cry and escape the boredom or stress of our everyday lives. But stories can do so much more than entertain us." @BeckyBausman chieflearningofficer.com/202…

This analysis of Dr. King is powerful and makes it easy to see why he was one of the greatest orators. His “I Have a Dream” speech was almost equal parts a sermon, a rally cray and resistance against political systems. The spoken word is one of the most powerful devices available to connect people to causes. He painted hope for a future we all still need to do the work to make reality. youtube.com/watch?v=l39CL0t-…

Are your fonts large enough? Here are a few tips to check! #visualcomunication #slideology #visualstory

I’m probably the MOST unlikely person to have a love affair with Calibri as my go-to font. I must process too many emails because I struggle to be productive reading any other font. What’s your favorite font and why? #visualstory

After the financial crisis in 2008, I storyboarded this video on a long piece of receipt tape. It’s eerie to watch it today because it all applies again. The climb out of this mess is real and visual storytelling is key to making the way out clear. #visualstorytelling

Three years ago, I published DataStory to help leaders improve how they share information. Here, I explain why it was one of my hardest books to write. #data #datastory #communicatingwithdata #leadership #communications #datadriven

I’m learning firsthand that leveling up your communication means becoming a better listener. It’s why I’m thrilled to share our new work: Adaptive Listening. Sign up for the webinar here: hubs.ly/Q01mcTwr0 #listening #listeningskills #powerskills #softskills #leadership
