Client Testimonials:
“Thanks to our North Americas ongoing learning journey, we organized a ‘Financial Story Telling’ Seminar (by Business Learning Institute). It is not only an evergreen topic, but the presenter was magical as well. The topic was very empowering to hone the skill on ‘How to become a better business partner’. The course explained, that it is not just the data or information nor even glossy PPT, what makes the difference is how well we can convey our ‘story’. Striking point was, to be become a best story teller, you should know your subject matter inside out and then you do not need big jargon. Living among intelligent business community, the benefit of this seminar is immensely applied on everyday basis. Audience loves and appreciates this creative format and to me, the job becomes easy and enjoyable.”
