What if there’s a better way to engage people so they will act? What if there is a more natural way to align systems, teams, and markets... and it all begins with the stories we tell?
Tell a story that will “unstick” the system so that people will move. Teams will engage. Customers will buy.
Bring unforgettable clarity to your message! Tell a story about the technology, the science, or the strategy.

It’s an active learning experience that has been embraced by the world’s most influential organizations. (And lots of little ones who are on the fast track to influence!)
In just a single day, your team of leaders will find, develop, and tell the narrative assets around their most urgent work.
And they will leave with a highly engaging, transformative message they can deploy tomorrow.

What are the learning outcomes of The Storytelling Leader? The active learning experience is tailored to the needs of your leaders. Your leadership role will determine the kinds of stories you tell:
Senior leaders need to align the organization to align around the strategy, and compel the system to action. When you tell strategic stories, you’ll inspire people to move.
Technology and science leaders are really good at talking to each other. But what about everyone else? The rest of the system needs to understand your complex offering before they will engage.
The innovation begins internally. Advocate for your innovation team’s great work within your organization. Tell innovation stories to generate support, excitement... and resources.
In the war for hot talent, there's a new generation of job seekers who have a simple request: Make me believe in you. What stories are you telling them?
