Success Unfolds Day by Day

  • Episode #11

Story Coach Lisa Bloom is the go-to expert on business storytelling. For decades she’s helped entrepreneurs master this important but overlooked skill. In Once Upon a Business, she’s turning her attention from the craft of storytelling to the stories themselves — the densely evocative folk and fairy tales that we’re all exposed to.

In this episode of Once Upon a Business, Lisa tells “Sword of Wood” and extracts rich business lessons that are applicable for entrepreneurs of all stripes.

“We face all these challenges, but once we find clarity and the path forward, then it almost seems like things fall into place magically.” ”

“Underneath it all, I believed in the power of my story and the power of the work I could do.”
