Today's guest is a lot of business leaders, owners, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers across many different verticals in both small and larger organizations have found the last two years challenging on multiple fronts. However, with the right framework and mindset, you can adapt your business to move beyond surviving to thriving even in the face of uncertainty — and that's even if it a more traditional business type like for example, a bakery, professional service firm, or SaaS model competing against multiple other seemingly similar tech-based business fighting on price — to achieve your commercial objectives. Sharing her expertise globally, she's won a bunch of awards working with household names like Nestlé, Solas, University of Greenwich, Technology University Dublin, Kerry Foods, MGI Learning, Abberley Luxury Yachts, and hundreds of other customers worldwide. Lorraine has closed deals with prospective customers around the world in the UK, US, Germany, Greece, Romania, Ireland, South Africa, and Switzerland to name a few, so they can adapt faster to the rapidly moving market and go from perhaps limited growth or stagnation to profitability again.

“I am a businesswoman with a talent for writing" In this episode of Corporate to Calm we speak with Emma Jane Leeson from @johnnymagoryworld. Emma Jane is a Mum of 3, holder of numerous degrees, an all-rounder when it came to business. Her energy is contagious and she is so passionate about the amazing world she has created. Emma Jane wrote her first book at least ten years before she took the leap to solely focus on Johnny Magory. The funny thing is that it may not have happened had she realised Johnny was a well-known name in many Irish households and not just the figment of her dad's imagination. There was no fear when releasing them, no expectation, just a passion to put on paper the stories from her childhood. "Bord na Mona was the best learning ground, 7 of us looking after 2.5k people. You learned to do everything” Emma Jane gained her business acumen from a variety of sources, starting in what became Top Gifts and then progressing to Bord na Mona. A huge opportunity arose when she started in the Central Bank but she quickly realised it was not for her and after only a couple of months took the risk of leaving this most sought position. Then came Kerry Foods, this is our common ground. Our paths didn't cross but we both knew you earned your stripes at Kerry. "My advice, Write the Book!!" Emma Jane's advice to budding authors is plain & simple – write the bloody book. She is frequently asked for advice and then quickly learns that most are seeking information without having put pen to paper. From the start Emma Jane treated her endeavours like a business with divisions, she may have been the head of all divisions but having different units made it easier to keep track of what there was to do. Sustainability and the outdoors are a huge part of the business. The Johnny Magory World of books are the first to be biodegradable. It's hard to have a lot of merch without plastic but they find a way through. “This is Nickelodeon, not diddle-e-ey” Emma Jane's vision from the start was global, changing the spelling of the name to fit with an American audience. Although printing in Ireland was always a priority and she makes sure this is the case at all costs. Her PR are always delighted when a book comes out as she has a wish list as long as your arm and a determined, clear vision. Emma Jane's advice to any new business is clear, go to your local LEO and tell them you are a business not an author & invest in a virtual assistant. So, grab a cuppa, sit back, relax, walk, go on the treadmill, drive to your meeting, and hopefully enjoy Emma Jane's journey from Corporate to Calm x

When most people think of storytelling for business, they usually imagine flashy advertising and social media campaigns. But stories are also incredibly effective inside organizations, helping leaders do things like navigate mergers, shift culture, enhance experiences, and create strategic engagement. And nobody does it better than Alison Esse and her team at The Storytellers, based in the UK. As storytelling and business transformation specialists, The Storytellers have spent the last two decades helping over 180 major organizations worldwide move people to accelerate change and transform business performance."If you can actually make it emotionally compelling, then it's amazing how much buy-in you can get, because you're winning people's hearts. You're not just winning their minds. You're actually helping them change their belief system about something, helping them change their attitude , and really creating that emotional connection that I think every human being responds very positively to."In this episode, Alison shares the approach they’ve used to do things like double the size of Citibank, create best-in-class customer service at the Wynn Hotel in Los Vegas and trigger a dramatic shift in employee engagement scores at Kerry Foods. “You know, we started this business 17 years ago and realized pretty quickly that if you position it as storytelling, you will get a little bit of pushback. And quite often leaders really don't bite because storytelling per se is not what they're looking for. What they want is a business outcome. So what I learned very quickly was that what we're selling was an outcome. We were selling change. We were selling acceleration and pace. We were selling leadership capability building. But the tool that we were using to make it happen was storytelling.”Our conversation also explores the strategic importance of using stories to help win the talent wars, create and shift culture and streamline strategy. The Storytellers have found a way to turn story design into a tangible, repeatable, measurable business performance accelerator that can work for any organization, anywhere in the world. “Story is not just another initiative - it's a sense-maker. The narrative is what brings us all together into something cohesive, something simple, something easy to understand. And most importantly, something that people can really believe in. And a lot of our clients in the past have said it's a fantastic decision-making tool. Because if something that we're doing is not relevant to that narrative, then why are we doing it? So I think it can be a way of streamlining. It can be a way of simplifying, massively, the amount of clutter that is going on in the workplace, and helping just create a really comprehensive set of priorities that you can then much more neatly plug all of those different initiatives into.“Be sure to check out their work and follow Alison for more tips.
