Pulling the Thread

  Christina Hartikainen on Story Craft

 

The Business Agility Conference brings together executives, practitioners, and thought leaders to connect, inspire, and share authentic stories of business agility. 

Many speakers need help crafting their talk - finding the key message that resonates for them AND for our attendees.  It takes work to find that thread of truth, distill it down to the essential story, and make it relatable  and impactful. 

We recently sat down with Christina Hartikainen - one of the original conference program team members to get her insights on story craft.
