storytelling at work

Build a team of changemakers.

Rally your team around a shared vision, uplevel your collective communication skills, and equip your team to leave lasting impressions with effective storytelling.

Everyone tells stories at work.

Storytelling may not be in your official job description, but it’s a skill you use every day, from giving presentations and closing sales to writing performance reviews or leading team meetings.

The good news: everyone can become a great storyteller. You just need to learn the art and science of telling stories effectively.

When you invest in your team’s storytelling skills, you enhance your ability to:

Convey complex ideas in engaging and memorable ways

Cultivate empathy, understanding, and trust

Advocate for team resources and recognition

Inspire meaningful action from your customers to your colleagues

 Team Building

Team Storytelling Events

Bring your team together with a storytelling experience.

Intentional storytelling spaces can be a beautiful way to connect meaningfully while learning something new. In the age of hybrid and remote work, these experiences build real human bonds by getting to know each other on a personal level. They are structured so even the most introverted team member feels comfortable participating and sharing their stories, all while learning something new.

 
 

Example events include:

  • Bring your team together to explore an engaging theme through the lens of your personal experiences. This fun and interactive storytelling event mixes large group games, small group conversations, and stories shared with the wider group. By the end, everyone will know each other better, and see their experiences in a new light.

    We can customize a theme related to your work, or you can choose from one of our favorites, like Comfort Food, Chosen Family, or Firsts.

  • Traditional networking events can be painful. Move away from the cringey and vague “So, what do you do?” questions and structure a session grounded in uncovering everyone’s stories. We will create a fun and engaging space where people can easily get to know each other, and build more lasting and memorable connections.

  • Let me spread the gospel of storytelling to your team through story-based keynotes and open-ended discussions. I can join your established event, or curate a panel of expert storytellers to share knowledge with your team.

    Topics I can speak on:

    • Why your story is your superpower

    • Applying the elements of effective storytelling to your work

    • The fascinating art and science of impactful storytelling

    • How to shape an empowering career narrative

    • How to weave storytelling into your planning and processes

    • And more!

Skill Development

Workshops & Offsites

Build a more connected and skilled team with a storytelling workshop.

Uncover stories that connect your team to each other and your collective mission, illustrate the importance of your work, and confidently communicate those stories to inspire action.

Workshops range from 90-minutes to multi-day offsites.

 
 

Example workshops include:

  • Together, we’ll explore the collective story of your work as a team. Where are you now and what are you working towards?

    Then we’ll use storytelling frameworks to ideate and shape new ways to tell your story to your target audiences.

  • Stories are everywhere in our daily and professional lives. But what makes some stories stand out? Learn about the foundational elements of powerful storytelling, so you can communicate confidently and inspire action.

  • When we hear a story, our brain lights up. Learn how to shape your story to create powerful reactions in the minds of your audience that lead to meaningful results.

Coaching for Leaders

Lead with narratives that inspire.

Whether you’re looking to improve your public speaking, motivate your team, or create a strong team culture, storytelling can play a meaningful role in your leadership approach.

In 1:1 coaching sessions, I can help you discover your most powerful stories from across your career and company. Together, we’ll apply frameworks to help you shape them into compelling narratives.

In these customizable sessions, we can get more granular about new ways to share your personal or team stories across your various content, channels, and engagements.

We can also carve time to have you practice sharing your stories so you will be confident and clear when it comes time to present the story in meetings and other events.
