Gabrielle’s book highlights the different ways you can use stories to drive and achieve business goals. We have used storytelling to bring Bupa’s purpose and values to life through our leaders sharing personal stories, to demonstrate what our purpose and values mean to them. This approach was hugely impactful for Bupa, with people quickly living our values, and I’m sure this approach would work equally well in other organisations too. Read, absorb, and start telling stories!
