Reviews, Interviews, and Mentions
I really like the book! It tackles a trendy new subject with experience and intelligence, and the writing is powerful, concise and inspiring. I suspect this book will do really well because I think there is a real need. It can help everyone from CEOs in business and non-profits dealing with strategy, to individual contributors.
In a world emptied by division and relational loneliness but overflowing with data and noise, great storytelling is often the missing link that keeps us disconnected from meaning, mission, strategy and stakeholder commitment. This book nails it.
Guptara inspires us to rethink how authentic storytelling can enhance our influence as formal and informal leaders. It then goes to work showing how to make storytelling into a powerful relationship resource.
– Robert E. Hall, Author “This Land of Strangers:The Relationship Crisis That Imperils Home, Work, Politics and Faith”; Serial entrepreneur; Recovering CEO.
Politicians should seek the overall welfare of everyone in their community. Where politicians fail in that high calling, could it be because of the stories they tell themselves and others? I believe so because Jyoti Guptara’s essential work has helped me to reflect further on that. Telling stories is our best means of sharing hope and communicating so that enthusiasm, energy and love can shine through. Whether you are a political, social or business leader, this punchy, precise and incisive book will help you to exercise a new height and a vastly extended range of influence and impact.

Read this lively, lucid and persuasive book to learn why a telling story is a far more powerful way to persuade people than a power point. Not surprisingly, its author is connected with magical India, one of the world’s greatest story telling cultures.
– Gurcharan Das, Author; former CEO of Procter & Gamble, India
Here is a gem. The writer’s use of his personal stories to teach what he preaches makes it highly readable; it evokes empathy and leaves the reader with precious ideas which click and stick. The many practical tips and hacks bring the art of story telling within reach of anyone, even outside of the targeted business audience.

As a business leader, I was always aware of the lack of humanity at work, even though we know business runs through relationships. Jyoti’s book amazed me with all the practical hints and structures on how to connect and engage with internal, as well as external stakeholders through story-telling. The most exciting part, for me, is on how to develop your personal story. Going through the steps, you as a leader become distinctly humane, which is these days a requirement for people to relate and connect. In your quest to be an authentic leader and truly influence others, story-telling will ease the challenge of getting people behind you and your organization. This is a must-read for those business leaders who want to make a difference – communicate your true self through story-telling and let others connect with you on a personal level.

A must-read. Storytelling is critical for making better sense of complex matters and can help, in particular, to come up with a clear strategic vision.
Jyoti Guptara is uniquely positioned to provide a solid business consultancy and strong story-based vision. He shows a remarkable ability to combine creative writing and story-telling with the requirements of executive-level success.
Superb writing … The concepts are broken down into clear elements that can be easily absorbed and applied.

Business circumstances recently forced me to ask to change some contracts – and even to let some people go. Very difficult things for an altruistic person like me. I was not sure how to explain to these mostly foreign co-workers how the contract changes were going to affect them, and why they were necessary. I discussed these challenges with my business storytelling coach, Jyoti Guptara, and he immediately made several specific suggestions, referring me also to particular pages of this book, in order to help me use a business storytelling technique to communicate what was necessary. Thanks to Jyoti’s input I had a much easier time going through the situation. In fact, the otherwise difficult discussions went easier for both sides.
