I’m honored to be delivering the opening keynote for the 15th Annual Department of Energy (DOE) Small Business Forum & Expo in Atlanta May 23 to 25.
“AWAKEN THE STORYTELLING GIANT IN YOU”
Description: What if the right story inspired your company’s targeted program, site office, or laboratory to add your company to their team? What if the right story persuaded the small business program manager to invite you to hear your ideas and company’s capabilities? What if the right story prompted the small business program manager or contracting officer to recommend your company? What difference could that right story mean to your company? Join Ira for a lively and insightful keynote on how to turn your experiences into powerful stories that engage and inspire stakeholders throughout the DOE Community.
I will also deliver a complementary business storytelling workshop that will be a hands-on program later in the day.
*** If you are attending, please send me a note and let’s coordinate schedules.
