Topic

Psst… want employees to actually care about your latest strategy, launch or tech update? In this session, Kym Logan shares the single secret behind storytelling at work — and why most corporate stories fall flat. Drawing on a decade leading NAB’s internal newsroom, Kym walks through practical techniques for earning attention and emotional buy‑in, with real examples (including launching Viva Engage) and a clear‑eyed look at how AI can help — and hinder — the process.

The session will cover:

• the hidden truth behind stories that land
• practical tips to make people care
• where AI fits into modern storytelling (and where it doesn’t)
