why Jordan

Most consultants bring a framework. Jordan brings a flashlight 🔦

About Jordan Bower

Frequently Asked Questions

We work with organizations across industries where influence skills directly impact business outcomes.
Our clients typically include cross-functional product teams needing to build consensus without formal authority; marketing professionals seeking buy-in for strategic initiatives; sales teams advocating for customers internally; executives wanting to inspire genuine commitment rather than compliance; technology specialists driving system adoption; HR professionals implementing culture initiatives; operations teams motivating process improvements; finance departments creating action-driving fiscal narratives; and interdepartmental task forces aligning diverse stakeholders. Our workshops deliver particular value in matrix organizations, companies undergoing transformation, and environments where success depends on collaboration across boundaries rather than traditional command structures.
In-person, I deliver this workshop throughout North America — and, occasionally, further afield. I have legal permission to work in the US.
Most communication training focuses on delivery techniques or formulaic structures. Our business storytelling workshop addresses the deeper challenge: how to develop narratives that create meaning and drive change in complex environments. We focus on developing your team’s ability to apply storytelling concepts to your specific business challenges — rather than delivering narrow, formulaic storytelling frameworks.
We begin with a thorough discovery process that includes stakeholder interviews, analysis of your current communications, and identification of specific challenges and goals. This allows us to tailor every exercise, example, and discussion to your team's actual work. For sales teams, we focus on client-facing narratives; for technical teams, we emphasize translating complexity; for executive teams, we concentrate on vision and alignment. This customization ensures immediate relevance and application.
Teams consistently report three key outcomes: increased stakeholder engagement, improved ability to drive change initiatives, and enhanced cross-functional collaboration. Participants develop practical skills they can apply immediately while building a foundation for long-term communication excellence.

Yes. We've designed specialized versions of our workshop for virtual delivery that maintain high engagement and impact. Our virtual workshops utilize collaborative digital tools, breakout sessions, and specially designed activities that create meaningful interaction despite the digital format. Many clients choose a hybrid approach, with initial in-person workshops followed by virtual integration sessions.
Yes. I personally facilitate all workshops to ensure consistent quality and depth. For enterprise-level engagements that involve multiple workshops, Jordan leads the core program while occasionally bringing in carefully selected and trained associates for supporting components. This ensures the unique blend of emotional intelligence and strategic insight that defines our approach is present in every engagement.
Post-workshop support varies by package but typically includes implementation guidance materials, follow-up check-in sessions, leadership coaching options, and access to additional resources. Our $25,000 package includes two structured follow-up sessions and 90 days of implementation support. We believe real transformation happens after the workshop, which is why we emphasize sustainable integration into your team's actual work.
We establish clear success metrics during the discovery phase based on your specific goals. Common measurements include before/after assessments of stakeholder engagement, time-to-decision on key initiatives, team alignment scores, and qualitative feedback from key audiences. Clients typically see measurable improvement in the first 30 days, with significant transformation occurring over 90 days as new approaches are integrated into regular workflows.
Absolutely. Many clients begin with a single team workshop that demonstrates tangible results, then expand to a broader organizational approach. Our enterprise transformation program is specifically designed to embed new narrative capabilities across departments, creating organizational alignment and consistent stakeholder experiences. We've helped organizations implement storytelling as a core strategic competency that drives innovation, alignment, and external impact.
