47. Persuasive power of storytelling with Jamie Dixon

If you’re a leader, a big part of your job is getting people to do important things. Maybe it’s getting your team to follow your strategy, getting customers to buy more, or getting your stakeholders to support you. But sometimes you can’t get people to do those important things, and sometimes that’s a big problem. And when it’s a big problem, Jamie Dixon is here to help you. He is a coach, facilitator and author of “The Story Habit - How Leaders Shape Stories That Drive Action”.

Jamie has worked with leaders in over 160 multinational companies over the last 10 years. He is an IAC certified coach, a Tiny Habits coach and a Marshall Goldsmith Stakeholder Centred Certified Coach.
