Overview:
This session introduces professionals at all levels to the art and science of storytelling in the workplace. You'll discover why storytelling is such a powerful tool for connection, motivation, and leadership-and how to apply it in real-world settings like meetings, onboarding, change initiatives, and even conflict resolution. You'll leave with simple, practical strategies to craft and deliver stories that resonate and inspire action.
Why you should Attend:
Have you ever rolled out an initiative you knew would help-but no one seemed excited? Have you shared company values only to see them forgotten by Monday? You've sent the emails, hosted the meetings, posted the announcements-and still, the message doesn't stick.
The problem isn't your idea-it's the way it's delivered.
Facts and policies inform people. Stories transform them.
If your employees aren't connecting, if change feels harder than it should, or if culture efforts keep stalling, it's not because people don't care-it's because they don't feel it yet.
Learn how to weave storytelling into your leadership, communication, and culture-building to create lasting engagement and action.
