Everyone loves a good story. Stories are memorable. After all it's human nature to share stories. We share stories with our kids, our peers, our clients, our friends, our neighbors, and the list goes on. Capitalize on the power of storytelling by connecting the right people at your next meeting.

In recent times employee engagement has become a greater part of management's focus. Engaged employees are more productive, retained for longer and have a direct impact on the bottom line. By asking the right questions you can encourage more peer to peer conversations amongst your employees and ensure that the experiences that make your business more successful are shared across the organization.

Imagine you are a senior sales executive and have a story to share about how you grew your territory in a down economy or you are a leader that has led successfully managed a team through a difficult period of restructuring.  These experiences should be shared so that the lessons and hard one successes are not lost. Make sure your people can connect and learn form each other.
