Kristi offers such a great approach to using storytelling, metaphors and analogies to clearly bring to life a message or to make a connection with an audience using ‘common language’. THIS will be one of your great tools/skills of the future!

 The conversation is important, as Storytelling is becoming a clear skill and approach needed to bring not only people together in alignment through language, emotions, connection and our intelligences (practical, analytical, creative) in providing the FULL picture of what we are sharing in a way that is clearly understood.
