"When we tell stories, we build bridges instead of walls".
On this episode I'm joined by the captivating Anna Ong, ex-banker turned storyteller and host of the curated storytelling competition What's Your Story Slam, held in Singapore and Manila.
As a storytelling coach, keynote speaker, and guru for corporate leaders who seek to use storytelling as a leadership tool, Anna delves into the power we can unleash by crafting our personal narratives to create connections with other people.
Whether it's on stage or in the boardroom, Anna unveils the gifts we all possess in our experiences when they are crafted into stories we can share with the world.
Anna's own life story is inspirational as she shares how she left behind the security of a banking job to venture out and create her narrative by following her passion for storytelling into a new career.
Prepare to get inspired to tell your own story once you listen to this episode!
