Tell Your Stories; Prove Your Impact

Presented by: Bill Burnett, author, speaker and Director of Export Services at Milwaukee 7 and Partner at Tailwind Discovery Group

How do you balance building rapport with an interviewer, answering questions and promoting your qualifications? Professional stories are the answer and more powerful than you may realize. They are engaging, help position you as a person who can solve a problem for the company, and show your attributes and competencies. For example, by telling a professional story in which it is clear through the narrative that you are a great leader, you’ve created a credible example of your leadership ability. This is far more credible than listing your competencies as adjectives. Professional stories also allow you to show some personality during the interview.

This session will focus on learning to construct engaging stories that showcase your talents and highlight your personality.
