RFG08 | What I Learnt About Storytelling, Filmmaking and Building A Community with Charles Vogl

Revenge of the forsaken gods

Charles Vogl is an executive consultant, award winning author and regular guest lecturer at the Yale School of Management and Yale Leadership Institute. He works with leaders in technology, media and government to make them more effective in creating change.

I recently had the privilege of reviewing his book which I found to be an easy read and conversational and packed with solid content .

I reviewed the book at my League of Young Professionals Readers and Leaders Book Club before an audience of 50 people. The book made me feel amazed, optimistic and empowered. I am not surprised that it won the Nautilus Silver Award in Business & Leadership.
