Storytelling for Influence
Get your team’s work seen by the organisation, and acted on by decision makers.
The opportunity
A bespoke, applied storytelling programme grounded in your organisation’s goals and metrics. Participants learn to craft stories that influence decisions, and weave a consistent narrative they can apply across contexts and channels.
What this means for your team
Anchored in your goals
Every story is grounded in your organisation’s own goals, performance metrics and implicit truths.
A shared language
A common storytelling framework and mental models your team can use to baseline and uplift your collective influence practice.
Built to act on
Taught around a live project so the impact shows up immediately. Coaching support turns a one-off application into a consistent practice.
Measured capability growth
Every cohort includes a before-and-after capability assessment that can feed into KPIs & growth conversations.
Proven in delivery
100%
Success rate
of participants said the skills were directly useful for their role.
“I’ve seen a noticeable shift in how I frame presentations, recommendations and conversations, and I’ve seen the same in others across the team. It’s been great to see them applying the techniques so effectively, and the improvements in our self-assessment results have reinforced that the capability uplift is real rather than just perceived. What stood out most was the balance of theory and practical application. The frameworks were simple and immediately usable.”
