Leadership Storytelling Coaching
When trust is low and attention is scarce, storytelling is how effective leaders connect, influence, and inspire action.
Work 1:1 with leadership storytelling coach Jordan Bower to build the communication skills, emotional flexibility, and creative mindsets that equip you to lead with authenticity, influence, and resilience.
why leadership storytelling coaching?
Adapt Your Communication Fluidly Across Any Context

Level-Up How you Create Connection, Influence & Trust
Develop the emotional capacity to stay creative, connected, and resilient even when stakes are high, audiences are skeptical, the ideas are complex, or the message is difficult to deliver.
Unlock Your Natural Leadership Storytelling Abilities
Address the deeper patterns and blockages that keep you stuck, so communication becomes more natural, confident, and genuinely you, rather than following someone else's script.

Introducing LEadership Storytelling Coaching
How You Communicate Matters More than Ever
You have brilliant ideas, crucial insights, and valuable perspectives to share. Leadership storytelling can help you
Make complex ideas accessible so stakeholders truly understand
Create emotional resonance that data alone cannot achieve
Build trust and connection that drives alignment and action
Enable change by helping people see themselves in a new future
Since I first started teaching storytelling in business over 15 years ago, I've had a front-row seat to how leadership communication has fundamentally changed. There is so much noise. Trust is at an all-time low. Today's leaders need to strike a delicate balance between conveying information, holding attention, and communicating with empathy and authenticity.
As a coach, I see my job as two-fold: I provide expert guidance on the craft of storytelling while helping you develop the emotional capacities that make stories resonate, so you can connect with your audience with charisma and individuality.
Let’s work together!
What You’ll Learn
A Learning Journey Customized to You
Every storytelling coaching engagement is tailored to suit your real needs, your real goals, and your real voice and perspective.
1.
Framing Your Ideas for Emotional Impact
Move beyond facts and logic to shape messages that resonate at a human level, creating the urgency, clarity, and engagement that inspire people to act.
2.
Connecting Authentically with Stakeholders
Build the capacity to meet people where they are emotionally by understanding what they need to hear, not just what you want to say so a deeper level of trust and alignment becomes possible.
3.
Engaging Others with Creativity
Master the art of holding presence in the room (or on the screen)—keeping people with you from the first moment to the last, even when attention spans are short and distractions are constant.
Create change that lasts
Beyond tactical skills, you'll shift your mindsets around communication. You'll learn to interrupt old habits that no longer serve you, create emotional space for genuine connection, and unlock your natural storytelling ability. This work often reveals not just how you communicate, but how you think and relate to others, opening pathways to more resonant, trusted, and effective leadership.
It’s powerful, transformational work. Plus it’s a lot of fun!
How Storytelling Coaching Works
Get Expert Storytelling Guidance
Coaching is practical, motivational and perfectly suited for your real goals and work.
-
Leadership storytelling is closer to an art form like dance than a linear process like assembling furniture. In our early sessions, I listen deeply to understand where you are, asking probing questions that build trust and reveal what's really going on beneath the surface. I customize your journey based on what we uncover.
-
Together, we select something concrete to work on: an upcoming speech, a crucial presentation, a thought leadership article, or the way you frame yourself and your ideas. Focusing on real work takes us deeper, revealing not just your communication patterns but the thinking and emotions underneath, while giving you concrete takeaways you can use right away.
-
You don't need English Lit analysis. You need practical frameworks that work for your situation right now. I'll introduce relevant theory through examples, videos, and readings, then support you as you immediately apply insights to your actual storytelling.
-
Storytelling is an emotional medium. It requires understanding your own emotions and someone else's. Our sessions provide a safe environment to explore the emotional backdrop of your communication, which is essential for making your leadership more resonant and effective. It's not therapy, but it can feel therapeutic.
-
Storytelling mastery is the work of lifetimes. Six sessions won't make you an expert, but they can be genuinely transformative by opening new possibilities and unlocking your passion for this deeply human craft. You'll leave with a clear, personalized action plan you can follow on your own, with ongoing support available whenever you need it.

Meet Jordan Bower
Hi, I'm Jordan. I've worked with thousands of leaders at 200+ organizations—from startups to Fortune 500 companies like Johnson & Johnson, Volvo Cars, Mozilla, and Autodesk—helping them connect emotionally through business storytelling.
After business school, I spent six years on a transformative personal journey that gave me the real-world experience to develop my understanding of human connection and communication. When I returned and founded my consulting practice, I brought together professional expertise with lifelong inquiry into personal growth and creative development.
As a coach, my style is organic and authentic. I work from a deep knowing that everyone has a storyteller inside. My practice is less about learning formulas and more about addressing what's getting in your way.
I've coached C-suite executives, thought leaders, politicians, creatives, and mid-career leaders across every industry and function you can imagine. I'm based in Vancouver, Canada, and work with clients around the globe.
