What does Bernadette Jiwa bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Bernadette gives off a great vibe verbally which makes it great to listen to while on the treadmill.

Any additional comments?

You won't be disappointed unless you are sleeping. I have truly enjoyed this book and have bought all Bernadette's Audible works. As CEO of a major startup, I highly recommend Make Your Idea Matter: Stand Out with a Better Story.

A MUST LISTEN Book To Improve Your Marketing!

This is a Absolute Gem of a book on marketing. Bernadette challenges all of us who own businesses to question and improve the way we market. What she says makes sense, and is a roadmap for how we should be working with our clients. Over and over she provides examples of the importance of stories for our marketing.

This is an Audible book that will stay on my iPad for a long time - I will listen to it over and over and get new gems out of it each time I do.

Thanks for creating this Audible book!

Robotic, but helpful!

The usefulness of the material makes up for the "clear eyes" Ben Stein reading performance. :)
