In today's episode we delve into the art of storytelling and explore how you can learn a couple new tips and tricks to further improve your presentation and meeting skills.

It's my privilege to introduce you to Doug Thompson, a resident of Austin, Texas, and a seasoned storyteller plus TEDx Speaker. He specializes in telling stories and helping others learn storytelling skills and makes complex topics understandable for everyone.

He spent over two decades at Microsoft as their Director Technology Strategist and Artificial Intelligence Ambassador.
