  • The Art of Storytelling in Business

Patricia began working in the Information Technology industry in 1994, over her 20 years in the industry she has undertaken roles as a programmer, business analyst, project manager and director of strategic initiatives. Something she found working with technologists was that they struggled to communicate their ideas in a compelling way, especially to people outside of their field.

She believed the solution was to put the humanity back into the way people communicated and that was where stories came in. Real stories from real people make the abstract concrete, the complex comprehensible and they enrich the analytical with empathy, meaning and context.
