1:1 Coaching in leadership storytelling
Become the storyteller people follow through uncertainty and change.
Convey your vision, goals and strategic objectives with clarity and emotional presence, without sacrificing your humanity — or over-relying on AI. Work 1:1 with expert storytelling coach, Jordan Bower,
why storytelling?
Let the robots lead like robots 🤖
Connect Authentically
What stands out in a world of AI slop? Genuine human connection: our experiences, our perspectives, our visions, and our fears. The magic of storytelling: it comes from you.
Make Sense of Uncertainty
As the old stories break down, it is a storyteller’s job to craft them anew: connecting ideas and data points to help people understand what really matters—and what to do next.
(Yes, that’s an em dash. It’s mine.)
Lead with Confidence
Storytelling is about accessibility, clarity and emotion. The fundamentals can apply to all the ways we communicate as leaders: decks, emails, first dates and more.
Storytelling is much more than giving a speech (or even telling a story.) It’s about how you listen and connect as much as what you say.
Anyone can teach you how to tell a story. Just ask ChatGPT. But how can you tell your story in your unique way? That’s what you’ll answer while working with Jordan Bower.
connect with your inner storyteller
What will be different when you become a leadership storyteller?
There is no more important job on Earth than being a storyteller. Storytellers create understanding. Meaning. Urgency. Connection. Storytellers literally create the future. The dirty little secret is this: everyone is already a storyteller. In fact, you do it all of the time. Much more than teaching you the theory about storytelling, my job is to coach you to bring out the storytelling leader you already have inside.

Let’s work collaboratively to strengthen your storytelling muscles.
Working 1:1 with an expert storytelling coach will fast-track your leadership communication skillset. Much more than public speaking training, I’ll help you make progress across a suite of storytelling skills: from clarifying your strategic message, understanding your audience, building confidence in your creativity and much, much more.
01
Live, Personalized and Creative
Great storytellers spend lifetimes honing their craft. That means there’s no “right” way for you to build your storytelling chops. Coaching does not involve following a set learning agenda. Instead, it’s a co-created journey between me and you: much more impactful, and much more fun.
02
Regular Cadence
Coaching gives you a dedicated space and time to focus on your development as a leader. For the first 3 months, we’ll meet about every 2 weeks for a 60 min session. This will lay the foundation, establish key areas of focus for you to work on and give you a standing meeting to build muscle.
03
Work on Real Stories/Challenges
Our sessions focus on the real communications challenges you’re having right now. Prepping a speech? Introducing a change? Trying to get buy-in from stakeholders? I’m your teacher, mentor, creative partner, sounding board, test audience and much more—all in service of your growth.

Jordan Bower
“Without addressing the emotional side of leadership, there can never be real change.”
Jordan Bower founded Transformational Storytelling in 2013 at a time when “storytelling” meant reading books to children at libraries. Developing a flagship business storytelling seminar, Jordan quickly acquired more than 200 organizational clients, including companies like Johnson & Johnson, Autodesk, Mozilla, Volvo Cars and many others across just about every industry. When his business came to a halt during the pandemic lockdowns, Jordan tore everything down to the studs and co-founded X-Stasis, a visionary consultancy, focused on helping executive leaders rewrite their narratives and step out of the status quo. Jordan has helped thousands of people around the world build their skills, shift their perspective and sustain real change.
