Mimi was absolutely delightful. I wish we had more time with her as i felt this module was so much more helpful and insightful and would help as be more effective as leaders.

  • When I started the journey at Storytelling and Leadership, my reflections at the time were that since I lead leaders, I would need to be a lot more impactful and pointed with my story and deepen the credibility and trust amongst my stakeholders. I was looking for a tangible outcome of being a more enterprise-wide leader. Mimi’s approach gave me a far richer experience, in addition to what I was looking for. The process of interrogating my own personal values, what I stand for and more importantly spending a lot of time on the key crossroads in my past with a lens of when I was happiest was incredibly powerful. It became easy to then refine my story because you are comfortable to access your multi levels and worth and leverage. I enjoyed the process.
