Stories That Win
Captivate people, inspire trust, and get results with The PRO Story System

So how can we inspire people to listen and take action?|
In this dynamic, practical keynote, Richard Newman reveals how anyone can use the science of storytelling to maximize their impact every day with the PRO Story System™.

• Those ideas are losing sales because their competitors do a better job of connecting with the customer

The Science of Personal Impact
The ability to engage and influence others is critical to success, but how can we adapt our style to effectively communicate with anyone we meet in business?
