Why Business Storytelling
Leadership Storytelling drives influence by connecting facts with emotions.
A data point has never changed anyone’s mind. That’s because change requires engagement, trust, and creativity — just three of the many magical powers of storytelling. Yes, storytelling can be magic.
I discovered the magic of storytelling when I spent a year walking by myself across America. (For real.) My story opened strangers’ doors. It was a lifeline to friendship and connection. And it showed me first hand how authenticity, vulnerability and creativity are table stakes if the goal is to create influence get someone else to change.
When I came home, I decided to turn this insight into my business. Since then, I have delivered business storytelling workshops to more than 200 organizations — from teams in stuffy corporate offices to funky start-ups, and everyone in between.
