Storytelling for Business

Stories Stay with You

Our Storytelling for Corporate breaks down the importance of telling stories in business rather than just looking at the facts, figures, numbers and charts. Behind all that data, is a client or a customer and that person has a story about your product. In our Storytelling for Corporate seminars, your team will walk away with a polished 5 minute story they can use as a way to break the ice in a presentation, connect with a client or co-worker and present themselves as not just an employee but a person. A person who has lived a life and has a story to share.

Our structure is set up so your team understands what makes a compelling story that is both engaging and inviting. Participants will leave with tools of how to start off a presentation with a story that draws in your audience immediately on a personal level. What that spells out for your business is presenting your brand identity and company vision through individuals and their unique experiences. This can translate into their own lives whether they need to make a speech at a wedding or fulfill a dream to have their own Ted Talk. Whether you’re a salesperson or a CEO, we all want to educate prospective customers and sometimes, we need to close a deal. So, anyone who has to present data will learn that numbers alone won’t connect us, stories do. Because people remember stories: stories stay with you.

Improv for Business

If you’re interested in strengthening company spirit, enhancing team communication and having fun, then our Improv for Business Workshop might be right for you.

Our 3 hour Improv workshop is designed to provide participants with techniques for handling the unpredictable, thinking on their feet, presenting with authority, being more creative and building team rapport. This workshop is not about being funny, but focused on the tactics and skills that improvisers use to be successful, which directly correlate to skills in the workplace.

So much about leadership and team building isn’t about the answer, but asking the right questions. That’s why we’ve designed our workshop to really get folks comfortable with not having all the answers, being able to think on the fly and to start listening to better understand.
