Leading with a Powerful Origin Story
Creating an origin story for a CEO Dave Smith, President of Highlands Geotech, has an amazing background of experience in the mining industry. His company focuses on minerals exploration and discovery. Dave is responsible for pitching tough-minded investors, and he wanted to capture his background in a story he could tell with confidence. And what a great story it was.
By tapping the power of his origin story, Dave illustrated how he was literally “born into the mining industry” something few executives can claim.
