Today Emilie chats with public speaker, podcast host of Sway Them in Color, and founder of The New Quo, Christina Blacken all about the importance of narrative leadership, how to cultivate your storytelling skills, and why storytelling is an imperative leadership skill in times of change.

“We’ve seen time and again that some of our deepest biases, beliefs, and behaviors, have been embedded in our thinking through narrative that’s been passed on from generation to generation.”
