2023-06-26 19:30 - 21:00 (America/Toronto) | BC
Speaker announcement: We’re thrilled to announce that Sumaiya Siddiqi of ESRI Canada joins us this month to discuss the Art of Storytelling! The Art of Storytelling Crafting the perfect story is an impactful way to influence, teach, inspire, and build connections among people, between people, and share ideas. When a story catches our attention and engages us, we are more likely to absorb the message and meaning within it.  These days, in order to get your message across whether you are selling a product or an idea needs to be associated with an effective story. But how and where do you begin? We invite you to join us to explore the Art of Storytelling and how you can integrate it into your business and technology to connect with your customers on another level. By the end of the session you will discover how to convey your information and data in a masterful way in which your audience will be able to easily understand, apply and connect to.
