What can be learned about storytelling from the bees?
Mother Nature is one of our world's best and oldest storytellers. The secret to hearing her story is to pause and listen to all she's whispering around us. This course uses the bee's production of honey as the analogy for the importance a leader's ability to creating clarity towards a future goal or state in a VUCA+ world.
