Storytelling Workshops
Capture hearts and minds of your audiences through effective use of stories in professional communications. Storlietelling Workshops can help you and your team create a treasure chest of stories that can persuade and influence others. Participants practice a three-step process to gain skills and confidence in business storytelling. They write and draw stories, then engage in story-listening and story-sharing activities to sharpen their skills.


Tailored to Your Needs
Storytelling workshops can be tailored to a wide range of settings and audiences including scientists, business leaders, marketing and consumer-insights professionals, health care providers, and sales teams. We'll work together to design an approach to address your business challenge and/or train your team in storytelling skills.
Various formats are available to fit your needs and budget. An introductory 1.5-hour session provides audiences with a high-level overview of storytelling basics along with some practice writing and telling simple stories. The introductory session can also be offered as a webinar. Longer workshops (.5 to 1.5 days) allow for skill development through individual reflection, practice, peer mentoring and group storytelling. These options can be structured as a stand-alone workshop or series of events.
