Expertly facilitated learning for teams
Testimonial
"Jordan’s ability to shift mindsets and raise the bar is real. I’ve never seen a workshop that helped everyone in the room, from our lowest performer to the highest. That’s why we’ve kept working with him for eight years.”

About
Workshops that build skill & will for change
A new world of work demands a new suite of leadership and communications skills. I work with senior people leaders to develop learning programs that equip their teams to navigate the dynamic, uncertain and deeply human future.
Learning Themes
Human Skills for the AI Age
I help companies develop deeply human “relational” skills, like storytelling, creative problem solving, and facilitation.
The Will to Change
I help companies develop narratives and design structures that reposition change as a journey—and inspire their people to come on the ride.
Finding New Vision
I help companies rapidly reorient around a new North Star when the one they have been moving towards has been achieved or disrupted.
Standard Workshops Include:
Detailed pre-engagement research, including 1-on-1 interviews with leaders & participants
Tailored examples, exercises and approach to match your need
A live session delivered in-person, hybrid or virtually by Jordan Bower
Up to 40 participants
A follow-up call with team leadership to unpack learnings and plan next steps

Jordan Bower
Facilitator & Storyteller
I’m a Vancouver-based facilitator, storyteller and creative strategist. For more than 15 years I’ve worked with 200+ organizations, including Autodesk, Mozilla and Rakuten, helping their people tell better stories and see the future differently. My workshops are hands-on and built around your team’s real challenges, blending story, research and live participation, so people leave with skills they use the next day. Let’s build something meaningful together.
“Jordan knows when to help me and when to let me find my way. These gifts, over time, have developed a special kind of trust.”
Founder and Thought Leader, Travel Industry
“Our leadership team walked in with a analytical strategy deck and walked out with a story people actually wanted to be part of.”
Chief Product Officer, Unbounce
“Jordan got a room of skeptical managers imagining what’s possible, and kept us practical enough to act on it the next week.”
VP HR, Criteo

Leadership and executive teams, boards, people managers and cross-functional teams facing change. Each workshop lists who it fits best, and after an intro call I’ll recommend the right one for your group.

Both. I deliver workshops in person, hybrid or fully virtual. In-person sessions tend to build the most energy and connection, and virtual sessions are designed to stay just as interactive.
