Story the Change™
Improve how your team builds trust, communicates influence, and changes hearts and minds by learning the art and science of business storytelling.
Build engagement, connection and influence authentically.
In transformational times, storytelling in business has changed too.
Attention is fragmented.
Feeds are saturated.
Trust is harder to earn than ever.
And now AI can produce infinite content — instantly.
The days when everyone told the same story are over. Today, it’s no longer about getting the words “right” or even sorting your slides in the right order. It’s not about structure.
It’s about communicating with relatability. Personality. And emotion.
It’s about making messages that your stakeholders can feel so you can address the resistance to change and move them to action.
This workshop will introduce your team to the new perspective, tools, and skills that are required for effective business communication today. It’ll help you simplify ideas and speak with insight, so you can build trust and influence — even when your team doesn’t have formal authority.
Designed to be tailored and delivered by a remarkable, world-class thought leader, this isn’t just another lecture about the importance of story. It’s a hands-on, customized program that delivers real practice, personalized action plans, and powerful motivation to move forward.
