A young girl’s courageous journey to save the lives of loved ones and strangers alike teaches powerful lessons about the evolution of modern business. The story points to honoring our own quest for success while maintaining integrity and compassion.
Story Coach Lisa Bloom is the go-to expert on business storytelling. For decades she’s helped entrepreneurs master this important but overlooked skill. In Once Upon a Business, she’s turning her attention from the craft of storytelling to the stories themselves — the densely evocative folk and fairy tales that we’re all exposed to.
In this episode of Once Upon a Business, Lisa reads “The Magic Lake” and extracts rich business lessons that are applicable for entrepreneurs of all stripes.
“We face all these challenges, but once we find clarity and the path forward, then it almost seems like things fall into place magically.”
“Perhaps this is a time for a new world in business…where compassion and kindness are the way to achieve success.” – Lisa Bloom
Following a successful corporate career, Lisa Bloom became an entrepreneur, author, speaker and coach. She built a global business, Story Coach, supporting corporates, entrepreneurs, and coaches with speaking mastery, leadership capability, and marketing impact.
