As the author of “The Astonishing Power of Story”, if relevant, Justin will script powerful stories about each of the winners, giving the audience an opportunity to find out how they achieved what they did and ultimately model their success. This turns the event into an opportunity for inspiration and learning.

Justin brings his extensive experience as a motivational speaker, interspersing the presentations with entertaining and inspiring snippets of insight.

FACILITATION

Justin facilitates strategy sessions and events. Where applicable he will energize your conference with the power of story. In smaller groups, each person will tell a story about how they or someone they’ve seen has lived a value, delighted a customer, or demonstrated a key focus area of the conference. Each group will vote on the best story, which will then be shared with the rest of the delegates. That shifts a conference from a data download from a few presenters, to all round participation. Inevitably there are funny, moving and uplifting stories, keeping participants entertained and inspired. Best of all, everyone gets to see the moments of magic that are happening in their organisation every day, and how they can emulate those great models of success.

Your ability to extract the key messages from each of the speaker’s presentations reinforced the conference theme of “getting connected” as well as our key focus areas for the year ahead. By inspiring and motivating the team throughout the day you have set the HSBC MEFCO team up for success!
Senior Manager, Sales & Distribution, HSBC Bank, Middle East
