Power2Speak, the podcast, Andrew Thorp

We are all in the persuasion business.

Or so says my guest for this episode, Andrew Thorp. He's a Ted Talk speaker and trainer in the applied story telling arena. ‘Applied story telling?’ I hear you ask. Yes. That means it’s storytelling applied to business not storytelling for entertaining your kids or mates down the pub. Storytelling for businesspeople who need to be heard, get their message across, and be liked. Andrew shows them how to use stories to be persuasive. He likens it to a soft form of sales training. Fascinating. He also calls himself The Multi Story man due to his endless library of stories (not parked cars). There are many similarities between what Andrew, and I do and so this felt like more of a conversation than an interview, but we did manage to touch on his golfing career, excruciating experience as a quiz show contestant and misunderstanding with a dragon!
