Developing Your Business’ Voice

Does your team struggle to arrive at a consensus around a) the story of the difference they make to their clients and community, b) what differentiates them from their competition, and c) how to align business, branding, and communications strategies with day to day delivery processes?

Wondering what makes your story interesting to others is smart. There is a context for your story that enhances both the relevance of your mission and the uniqueness of your approach. I offer the perspective that creates the right context for the value you offer, and the storytelling techniques that make your story connect with people emotionally.

– Peter Davis, Founder of Hero’s Quest Consulting
