The Enchanted Brand:
Win Loyalty and Inspire Action in Today’s Upside Down World
Who do you need to influence?
Every organization has a complex human side, and that side is volatile and risky in today’ complex, disruptive, ambiguous world where emotions are driving everything. We need to attract and retain talent that is restless. Inspire performance among a skeptical workforce. Build loyal with customers that are fickle. Acquire investors willing to ride the ups and downs. Keep a public profile that can warrant unexpected twists and turns. Are things out of control? Or, are new dynamics in place that require a new perspective on engaging people?
The Enchanted Brand introduces a revolutionary approach to leading people through daunting change where almost everything is uncertain. Rather than prescribe solutions, we need to open imaginations and inspire people to think beyond what is before them to find their own answers. By combining branding with the power of enchantment, you can overcome the barriers of fear and distrust that put your organization at risk, and achieve the loyalty needed to persevere in the epic era. By igniting the imagination, you’ll empower people to actually sell themselves on the choices they make which gives them greater agency in the world on your behalf.
