The Power of Story
The telling of stories is as old as time...
They ignite our passion
They build connections and bonds
They create trust and inspire others
and yet according to Venture Capitalist Ben Horowitz, "stories are the most underrated skill [in business]"
So,enjoy a talk around a virtual campfire, and learn the power of storytelling.
Debbie Clement-Large kick-started her creativity coaching & consultancy business in 2015 after a classic lightbulb moment. Prior to this Debbie had enjoyed an eclectic career; starting with acting, then writing young adult fiction, where the telling of stories was foremost.Debbie’s journey then took a serious detour when she qualified as a Chartered Management Accountant; turning her attention to telling stories with numbers. With an innovative creative style, she found herself out of alignment with the adaptive style of accountants and rewrote her own story by qualifying as a Business Analyst. It was then that she realised that, what was missing from both the personal and professional lives of the people she worked with, was the power of creativity; and Why Follow the Herd was born. Why Follow the Herd now reaches around the globe providing personal and professional creative training; covering topics such as creating resilience, creative and lateral thinking for generating ideas, promoting positive evaluation of ideas, and inspiring others with the power of storytelling. This new chapter in Debbie’s story has only just begun… Whyfollowtheherd.com
