Speaker: Mudit Yadav, TEDx Speaker, Published Author, Leadership & Communication Coach 🧠
Why do some stories stay with us long after they’re told—and others disappear before we’ve even finished hearing them?
Stories help us make sense of the world. They are how humans connect and exchange ideas over generations. Our lecturer will explore the powerful intersection of storytelling, language, and presence, and how the way we tell a story can shape what people remember, feel, and do. From captivating an audience to making an idea stick, great storytelling isn’t just about having something interesting to say...it’s about knowing how to make people care.
We'll unpack what makes a story irresistible with a multiple-time TEDx speaker, Penguin Books published author, and communication expert. How to become a more compelling storyteller in work, life, and everywhere in between? You'll get your answers.
