Bestselling author, international speaker, business storytelling advisor A consultant, coach and international speaker, Jyoti Guptara is the author of ‘Business Storytelling from Hype to Hack: Unlock the Software of the Mind’. When Jyoti dropped out of school at the age of 15 to become a full-time writer, teachers couldn’t imagine they’d be inviting him back three years later to speak as a bestselling novelist. Despite his profession, Jyoti did not appreciate the value of storytelling in business until he was a Fellow at the GCSP, a United Nations partner organisation. There, he realised that some of the best content came after and between presentations, informally – when people told stories. Jyoti was quickly able to apply his decade of experience with fiction to executive education, helping business leaders find and tell stories to give better talks, pitch ideas and influence meetings, and improve internal communications and stakeholder relations. He also helps companies use narrative techniques to research, formulate and implement company strategy. Of British and Indian descent, Jyoti lives in Switzerland with his wife and consults internationally. He has helped leaders on five continents experience more success with less stress.
