在中国，为了表示对长辈的尊重，是不可以直呼其名的，有时候连同音字都要避免使用。阿九的儿媳是个非常聪明且孝顺的人，为了表示对阿九的尊重，她从来不说“九”，甚至连“jiu”的同音字也不说。这一天，来了两位老人，他们要考验阿九的儿媳是否真的可以不说“jiu”这个音……

You're moving too slowly for this podcast!

To be a successful leader, marketer, salesperson, or even job candidate, you need to be able to tell business stories well. Leaders tell stories to inspire their employees and to help them see what’s possible or to teach them something. They also tell investors, donors, board members, and others impact stories that reassure them their time and money are working. 

Business stories hold so much potential that I think they should be told every single day in workplace interactions! 

Even if you don’t identify as a storyteller, you will be prompted to tell stories at times in your career. But most people are not natural-born storytellers. It’s a skill that takes training and practice. 

Tune into the latest Express to Impress Podcast episode to business storytelling techniques. With a little practice, you’ll be a great storyteller in no time!
