People don't remember the facts you give them. They remember the story you tell them. Story is how a message lodges in memory, how it builds a connection, and how a listener comes to see themselves in what you're saying. It's the difference between information that washes over a room and a message people carry out the door and repeat to someone else. For leaders, that isn't a soft skill. It's how decisions actually get understood, believed and acted on. 

In this session, we will take you through our storytelling playbook. We'll introduce you to the concept of storytelling in a work environment, how organisations can harness its power, and share frameworks to help you have conversations that count. You'll leave with an understanding of how to use storytelling when the time is right: the board update that needs to shift thinking, the all-staff message that needs to build confidence, or the change announcement that needs to earn trust. 

  

What you'll learn: 

  

  • All about how, why, and when you might want to use storytelling as a technique 

  • A range of frameworks, the distinct job each one does, and when to reach for it 

  • Tips for effectively delivering stories that are effective, influential and remembered! 

  

Perfect for leaders, change and policy managers, and senior advisors who need to move people, not just inform them.
