What if the key to inspiring others lies not just in your ideas, but in your stories?
At Standard Chartered’s Enterprise Leadership Program (ELP), Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa invited senior leaders to tap into one of the most authentic and impactful tools of leadership: personal storytelling. In this energizing keynote, he helped senior leaders discover how to communicate their values, inspire collaboration, and foster psychological safety by weaving their personal and professional journeys into how they lead in the flow of work.
Drawing on ten best-practice storytelling principles, Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa created an experiential learning space where participants reflected on their own journeys, connected with peers, and gained practical tools to integrate storytelling into everyday leadership moments.
