In this episode of the Leadership and Learning Podcast, host Randy Goruk sits down with Robert Kennedy III, founder and CEO of Kennetik Kommunications, to explore how leaders can use storytelling to build trust, create clarity, and drive real change.

Robert shares practical ways leaders can use stories to:

· Make safety meetings and toolbox talks more engaging and memorable

· Strengthen trust with customers and prospects through testimonial-style stories

· Motivate crews, improve retention, and connect daily tasks to a bigger purpose

You’ll learn Robert’s simple EASE framework (Energy – Ask – Story – Explain) for structuring a compelling message and his powerful ‘cheat code.’

You’ll also learn:

· How to safely use personal and team stories.

· Avoid common mistakes with humor and references.

· How to build a personal “story bank” from everyday moments.

· Additional strategies, techniques, and tips to help you be a great storyteller.

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t have any good stories” or worried that your presentations put people to sleep, this episode will give you concrete tools to communicate with more impact on the jobsite, in the boardroom, and beyond.
