A workshop called Wisdom at Work is designed to help spark innovation in companies through the sharing of personal stories rather than traditional methods like data presentations or best practices. The workshop encourages leaders to tell stories from their own experiences about topics like creativity, breakthroughs, challenges, and learning moments that embed insights and knowledge to inspire others. Storytelling is highlighted as the most effective way to transmit meaningful messages and collective wisdom that can foster engagement, trust, collaboration, learning, and creativity in an organization.
