While it can be scary to think about them, you can learn from business horror stories. These are the tales you hear, after hours, about bad bosses, monstrous customers, and nightmare situations. Just about everyone has one they can share.
As a leader, you’ll find these stories contain lessons that can actually help you on the job. In this virtual presentation replay, motivational keynote speaker, Ken Okel, will engage you with what you can learn from business horror stories. Some of the things Ken talks about includes:
- What are some typical examples of business horror stories and what they often have in common;
- Why we like hearing stories about people surviving workplace haunted houses;
- The role empathy often plays when you hear someone tell their horror story from work;
- Whether you might be playing the role of a scary monster in someone’s story and what you should do about it;
- How hearing business horror stories can help with employee retention.
Let’s Make a Memorable Meeting
And Ken is no stranger to the world of virtual presenting. After all, he spent more than a decade in TV news, where you are presenting directly to a camera lens and have to connect to an audience you can’t see. Ken also believes an engaging and productive virtual presentation needs to be fast paced, include audience participation, and be customized to the organization.
