Gerber L: The Power of Story

The Power of Story

Connect With Purpose, Unlock Your Influence

Master the Art of Story SellingSuccess demands the ability to communicate with power, clarity, and emotion. Leaders who can deliver their story with authenticity, humor, and insight are seen as credible, influential, and unforgettable. Storytelling is not just an art-it's a science rooted in brain chemistry.Story Selling explores how to activate the six key brain chemicals—Adrenaline, Endorphins, Dopamine, Serotonin, Oxytocin, and Cortisol—through strategic storytelling. Drawing from decades of research and speaking experience, Dan Clark reveals how to discover, structure, and deliver stories that resonate deeply and move people to action.More than a guide to public speaking, Story Selling is a blueprint for influence. Whether closing deals, inspiring teams, or building trust, the right story, told well, becomes a leader’s most powerful tool.Story Selling transforms speakers into storytellers—and storytellers into unforgettable leaders.

How to 5x Your Value, 10x Your Influence, and Turn Your Words Into Wealth

A clever, funny picture book about one of life’s most important skills: the art of saying sorry. &nbsp; &nbsp; Sammy is in trouble. He’s stuck in his room (on his mum’s birthday!) writing sorry letters for things he shouldn’t have done. But what exactly has Sammy done? &nbsp; &nbsp; Told entirely through Sammy’s letters, this inventive and laugh-out-loud story gradually reveals the chaos behind his well-meaning plan. As one apology letter leads to another, the story of Sammy’s robot-related adventure unfolds . . . &nbsp; &nbsp; But the big question is will Sammy make it out of his room in time to celebrate his mum’s birthday? And what’s going on with all the robots?&nbsp; &nbsp; A fresh take on one of life’s essential lessons, Sorry, Sammy combines laugh-out-loud humour with a heartfelt message about making things right.&nbsp;

Sorry, Sammy

'I loved it' KIT DE WAAL, author of The Best of Everything'Generous, intelligent, full of wisdom and insight' LILY DUNN, author of Sins of My Father*A transformative guide to creative writing and the power of paying attention.The way we use language to tell stories reveals a lot about who we are and what matters to us. In Between the Lines, Julia Bell draws on almost thirty years of teaching to take us inside the writing workshop, where students from all over the world meet to share and discuss their work. She finds that in this space a kind of alchemy occurs, where&nbsp;paying real attention to one another and what we have to say - the ultimate challenge in our atomised, 'always-on' society - becomes a profound emotional education.&nbsp;Weaving philosophy, psychology and politics together with stories from the workshop, and featuring wise, practical advice on how to go about writing, this generous and thought-provoking book is about the transformative practice of noticing and slowing down. It shows how bad writing teaches us good things, how creativity helps us to see and be seen, and how reading and writing together fosters connection, tolerance, more expansive ways of thinking, richer access to language, new perspectives - and a better understanding of ourselves and others.*'What&nbsp;appears to be a guide to creative writing is actually a brilliant manual for how to exist in groups, to handle painful material, to grow together. Could anything be more necessary or inspiring?' Olivia Laing, author of The Garden Against Time

An expert insight into the transformative power of storytelling, together with practical advice on how to make your writing come alive.

Pirates crowd the town, Kianthe's estranged parents invited themselves, the baby dragons are causing mayhem - and they might run out of tea. Yet the truth overshadows everything . . . Their wedding has nothing to do with marriage, and everything to do with overthrowing the vicious Queen Tilaine.

Six days until the Realm changes for ever . . . * * * The Tomes &amp; Tea Quartet is everyone's cup of tea!
