Controlling the Narrative as a Startup Founder During Crisis

By Lyn Graft1 min readIncludes video

Controlling the narrative as a startup founder in times of crisis is imperative if you want to make sure and manage the perception of how audiences see you.

Whether your make a presentation to a potential investor, trying to close a sales deal, or pitching a reporter a press idea, you have to go into each opportunity with a mindset that you have the ability to manage that initial perception and have them seeing you as you want to be seen.

In this video, I’m dive into why it’s important to define the narrative and be the author of your own story and do so with belief, conviction, and resolve in the same way successful entrepreneurs business owners do.

After all, this is your business so might as well be the author of your own story. @LynGraft
