If you were following my Instagram or Facebook page on Saturday night, I sincerely apologise. Julian and I were invited to a five-course chocolate dinner as part of Latrobe’s Chocolate Winterfest here in Tasmania.
The dinner was by three chocolate masters – MasterChef contestant Ben Milbourne, local chocolatier and Anvers owner Igor van Gerwen and internationally renowned chocolatier-pastry chef and Cocoa Barry ambassador Pascal Janvier. Pascal made a chocolate sculpture as we were eating.
Just amazing.
It’s moments like these I fully realise what a blessed life I live.
One of the real highlights – apart from the food – was Pascal’s storytelling abilities. Everything he did had a story wrapped around it and is what made the night both educational and highly entertaining.
Through storytelling he completely sold me on why buying chocolate’s made from quality cocoa beans is better than settling for the chocolate that makes up a $1 chocolate bar. And that’s the power of storytelling.
As you’ve heard me say before, you need to be using storytelling in your business. Some of the most successful companies in the world are using it – so why not you?
Are you a chocolate lover? What’s your favourite?
