I'M CLIFF ATKINSON

THE RESULTS
- I applied a persuasive visual theme to the lawyer's opening statement that Fortune magazine called “frighteningly powerful” – and he won a $253 million verdict.
- I flipped the visual message from “all about us” to “all about our audience” for the COO and he won a $25 million pitch.
- I delivered storytelling training to the board of the $235 billion public company and they cut through the clutter.
