In December 2013, The Storytelling Tree was thrilled to be a keynote speaker at the annual National Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services (NAGCAS) Conference on the beautiful Daydream Island.

In Tristan's presentation “Let me tell you a tale: the magic in everyday storytelling, he explored how storytelling could revolutionise the way advisors interact with their clients.

This adventure covered:
• the neuroscience and psychology that explains why storytelling works;
• a simple storytelling structure applicable to almost any business context; and
• a series of practical and interactive case studies in which we told resonant and meaningful narratives using LinkedIn, Twitter and powerpoint.
