Storytelling and Brain Science

In this episode, we engage in conversation with Clare Edwards, a facilitator, speaker, coach and author, to explore the power of storytelling and understand the neuroscience behind why they are so effective in moving people to take action.

Clare has spent many years in the corporate sector in various management positions and now is focused on helping others to achieve their potential. She works with individuals in times of change through emotional and behavioural excellence, storytelling and mindfulness.
