The capacity to translate strategy and business imperatives into authentic narratives that massively accelerate authentic execution is critical. Gabrielle’s ability to unleash everyone’s capacity to be influential through their own stories is extraordinary. Stories for Work is an essential and accessible guide to storytelling in business.

      The power of storytelling to connect, inspire and create change can never be understated. Gabrielle’s latest book provides wonderful insights and practical examples of how you can use this important skill in both your personal and professional life. We all have stories to share and Gabrielle has given us the tools to really bring this to life.

      One of the biggest gaps in leadership today is storytelling. As businesses are continually required to move faster, leaders need to do a better job in helping to point the way and bringing people along with them. It requires a more sophisticated leadership approach; it requires storytelling. Gabrielle Dolan’s Stories for Work will help you unlock the art of storytelling in business.

Joe McCollum, Group Human Resource Director, Spark New Zealand

      If you think storytelling in the workplace is simply about ‘once upon a time’ then you couldn’t be more wrong! Gabrielle Dolan successfully and very quickly teaches us something much more powerful … presenting is auditioning for leadership and using personal stories for business purpose is demonstrating authentic leadership.

Dr Jason Fox, best-selling Author of How to Lead a Quest, Keynote Speaker of the Year and Advisor, pioneering strategy, leadership & culture

      Gabrielle’s book highlights the different ways you can use stories to drive and achieve business goals. We have used storytelling to bring Bupa’s purpose and values to life through our leaders sharing personal stories, to demonstrate what our purpose and values mean to them. This approach was hugely impactful for Bupa, with people quickly living our values, and I’m sure this approach would work equally well in other organisations too. Read, absorb, and start telling stories!

Dean Holden, Managing Director, Bupa Australia and New Zealand
