Episode 39. How Stories and Humour Build Trust with Brian Harman

Which types of humour are effective in business - and which might be a catastrophe? Should you focus more on story structure or content? How do you make every story relatable?

Welcome to The Storypowers Podcast, the show about the power of stories, the people who tell them and why you should be doing it too. I’m your host, keynote speaker and storytelling coach, Francisco Mahfuz.

My guest today is Dr. Brian Harman.

Brian is a leadership professor and professional speaker who uses his humorous approach to engage and motivate leaders.

He speaks at Fortune 500 companies, TEDx events, and universities around the world, writes for FORBES, and teaches leadership at UCLA, UC Berkeley and the ESAN Graduate School of Business in Peru.

You can find Brian on LinkedIn.
