Creating Communication That Inspires Positive Action

Speaker: Patti Sanchez, Chief Strategy Officer, Duarte, Inc.

According to research conducted by Duarte, Inc., during 2020, communication has grown more important since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Why? The pandemic—plus other social, economic and political shifts—forced businesses to reframe their goals, communicate new strategies clearly, and transform faster than ever. Given this environment of disruptive change, it’s time for leaders of all kinds, at all levels of organizations, to step up their communication game.   In this talk, story expert, Patti Sanchez, will teach you how to use empathy and storytelling to inform, inspire, and activate people. You'll hear lessons from Patti’s book, Illuminate: Ignite Change Through Speeches, Stories, Ceremonies, and Symbols —plus new insights from her experience in helping Duarte and its customers pivot to virtual communication. Patti will share the strategies she's used to develop effective communication for both Duarte, Inc. and some of the biggest brands in the world, and how you can too.
