Storytelling is a secret weapon. HumanStory helps people to understand and use the power of this communication technique to influence, build trust and to inspire action.
Effective storytelling activates a neurochemical, psychological and emotional response which, when combined with the right data, induces the values and behaviours you need in your team, among your peers, or in those that you want to influence.
Learn repeatable design frameworks for crafting potent stories.
Take away practical tools that you can use immediately to align and inspire your team.
Choose from keynote speeches, team workshops, individual coaching or customised consultancy programmes. Every engagement is tailored to your specific goals and challenges, whether you’re a solo founder, leading a small team or driving a global organisation. We deliver in-person and virtually.
Master Narrative Impact
For groups of 2 to 100, master narrative storytelling for influence and impact. From 2 hours to a full day, we will give you the knowledge and tools you need to communicate powerfully in story form. We’ll give you a clear process and workflow, whether your goal is to enhance your leadership, build trusting, cohesive teams or to market and sell products and ideas.
One-to-one sessions where we’ll identify and craft the stories that make up your personal leadership narrative. We’ll ensure you’re never short of the right meaningful anecdote, whether you’re at a Town Hall, all-staff address, team-meeting, panel discussion or podcast interview. In an age of information overload and short attention spans learn how to speak authentically, memorably and meaningfully using the oldest pattern of human communication.
We’ll respond to your specific needs and develop a bespoke programme for you and your team. You may wish to develop an organisational narrative that powers you forward or that supports a significant change initiative. You may have a specific morale or motivation problem in your team that you need to solve. A shared narrative brings trust, cohesion and purpose to an organisation’s mission. We’ll help you build and share that narrative whilst giving your people the skills to communicate in story form.
