Stories can help leaders become more engaging, inspiring and influential, and help make a brand extraordinary.

This is the belief of Mark Schenk (pictured), who will speak on 'unleashing your storytelling superpower' at the AIP National Conference on 2 June. 

A consultant for Anecdote International, Schenk will provide practical insights on how to tap into this power in a business context to build connections and have impact.

His discovery of storytelling led to a major change of career, and he is now passionate about helping organisations make their strategies stick.

The biennial conference, themed 2020 Packaging and Processing Vision, will bring together many leading experts from around the globe to cater for all participants in food, beverage, manufacturing and packaging.

It will be held on the 1st and 2nd of June at the Crown Promenade, Southbank, Melbourne.
