SUMMARY:Land Your Stories Every Time & Get More Business!
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n\nSpin the yarn (not the yawn) with Susan Luke Evans  \nWe know we have great stories to tell\, an incredible message to share\, and the ability to enthrall an audience with our tales of triumph. \nBut are those stories truly landing for those who are listening? \nOn September 14\, join us as we host the incredible Susan Luke Evans for a special afternoon session on crafting real stories that provide real-deal impact– rave reviews\, repeat business\, and a basket full of future referrals. \n______________ \nLand Your Stories Every Time\n& Get More Business! \nwith Susan Luke Evans\, CSP\, Global Speaking Fellow \nFrom trainers to emerging speakers to Hall of Famers\, you already know that stories are the lifeblood of a great program.
