Building Business Narratives

2 units

Whatever their career pursuits, Olin MBAs strive to make positive, visible impacts on organizations, communities, and the world by exuding executive presence—professional appearance, communication skills, empathic confidence—to diverse audiences. In this course, students use key elements of executive presence to assess themselves and to build compelling narratives for situations where innovative thinking matters. Students synthesize data and insights about industries and the economy to share constructive feedback with team members, develop storylines based on evidence, and deliver visually impactful presentations.
