The entrepreneur as an artist

John Bates learnt from his own experience how to speak like a leader and tell a convincing story

Never tell a story without a point, and never make a point without a story

Never tell a story without a point, and never make a point without a story.
All the logic in the world won't convince anybody if you can't make an emotional connection, and you can make that connection with a story.

John Bates learnt from his own experience how to speak like a leader and tell a convincing story.

Telling Your Story with John Bates
