The real thing
I love this book. Gabrielle Dolan invites us to be real in life and in leadership, and she models this on every page. The book reads like a conversation with a wise friend. A wise friend who tells it like it is and has lots of funny anecdotes.
Although it is much more than a book on storytelling and presentation skills, it has some of the best advice I've seen on these topics, and as a storyteller myself, believe me I read a lot of books on storytelling and presentation skills. Dolan's tips on using push and pull stories on the organisational story grapevine, and on preparing a presentation, are gold.
Ignite is my new go-to reference for leadership and communication.
A friendly tour of straight talking for leaders
Garbielle gives us some excellent exercises to get clear on who we are, what matters to us, and the stories to convey this. The pages of my copy are folded and marked so I can refer to the exercises and work my way through in crafting some signature stories. She has 'levelling up', asking for more and getting clear on our priorities, as well as mining the depths of our experience to come up with stories that will help others shift their perception.
Gabrielle's style is relaxed and personable, like getting some awesome tips from a mate over a glass of red wine.
If you are a leader or want to improve your leadership you have to read this!
I just finished reading Gabrielle Dolan 's book Ignite. For anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to read this yet, what a simply brilliant book. I just love how you can truly feel her personality coming off the page and brought to life by beautiful and insightful stories. This book will transform your approach to leadership. Thank you for putting this out into the world. Jeremy Watkins
A must read for any leader
Leadership is such a big subject, and so widely written about. But every now and again a truly impactful book comes along. This is one of those.
