play

08/15/24 • 41 min

In this episode, Michala Liavaag sits down with Pradeep U.N., founder and CEO of Stories and Wisdom, an award-winning platform and company, to explore how storytelling can revolutionize organisational culture.

Pradeep introduces his innovative approach to human engagement and culture transformation:

Storytelling: A card game that encourages personal story sharing, fostering deeper connections among team members

  • Gamification: An engaging, interactive experience that makes team-building more enjoyable and effective
  • Neuroscience: A scientifically-informed design that leverages how the brain processes information and forms relationships
  • Social Learning: A browser-based platform enabling collaborative learning across geographical boundaries for remote and distributed teams

These techniques for building trust and psychological safety are particularly relevant in cybersecurity, where open communication and a strong security culture are crucial for maintaining robust defences against evolving threats.

Listen now to discover how harnessing the power of storytelling can create lasting positive change in your workplace culture and foster stronger connections among team members.
