Most executives believe they're strong communicators. Their teams often disagree. That gap — and what to do about it — is exactly where Dr. Danny Brassell lives.

Known as "Jim Carrey with a Ph.D.," Dr. Brassell has delivered over 3,500 keynotes worldwide and authored 21 books on leadership, communication, and business growth. As co-founder of WellCrafted Story™, he's helped entrepreneurs, executives, and organizations transform the way they communicate — turning speaking engagements into measurable business results.

In this episode of Breakthrough Innovation, produced by Centered, host J.L. Heather sits down with Dr. Brassell to unpack why storytelling without intention falls flat — and what separates a good speaker from one who actually moves the needle.
