Everyone knows someone at each end of the spectrum. You know the person who starts telling a story, and you’re totally engaged.  You know the person who can’t tell a story to save their souls.  Just to hear them start has you looking for the door.  A Coursera survey identified “Storytelling” as the NUMBER ONE business skill for the year ahead. Not cost-cutting. Not planning.  Storytelling. Carl Pritchard, PMI-RMP, PMP returns to the Montgomery County chapter to offer his thoughts on how you can dig in and become a better storyteller. Through the journalistic practice of the inverted pyramid to how you make your stories positively memorable, Carl shares his thoughts on making you build better stories.
