Hello and welcome to another episode of the Leadership Log where we talk about navigating everyday leadership.

Storytelling is often the best way for leaders to communicate with people they are leading. Effective leaders—the Brene Browns as well as the Obamas — tell or embody stories that speak to other people. So is it the tool that everyone — leaders especially — should be constantly sharpening?

In this episode we are going to be chatting to Jane Dwelly and exploring storytelling and making the case for storytelling as a key competence for effective leadership

Jane can truly be described as a thought leader in digital health and in particular the development of people who are able to make this vital transformation happen. Jane trained and worked as a financial journalist for the first seven years of her career before joining the civil service to work at the Department of Health as its Chief Press Officer and later: head of Communications for Lord Ara Darzi.

Jane started working on the digital health agenda in 2013 in NHS England covering such topics as shared patient records and ambitions to make the NHS “paper free”.

Jane now has a portfolio in which she directs international activities for CHIME - a global membership organisation for digital health leaders, teaches leadership communications around the world, and publishes on the subject of nurse and midwife empowerment through digital health.

Jane lives in South West London with her family and also finds time to be a Trustee of the Florence Nightingale Museum.
