TEAM STORY COACHING

Good storytelling is simple, but it's not easy. 

We have created a story coaching process that is designed to equip your team to tell your stories well. 

You know, "teach a man to fish...and all that."

You could fill a small library with books about storytelling theory. Books are great...however, what you really need is practical tools and techniques that help you identify, workshop and tell your stories well. Whether over a long lunch or a weekend away with your team, our comprehensive training process will leave you and your team ready to knock your own stories out of the park.

Our process is as simple as step 1, 2, and 3...AND it's completely customizable. But here's a 40,000 foot view of how it works.

MEAT AND POTATOES

We start with the basics. The fundamentals. Why does storytelling exist? How do stories work? 

 

It's kind of like riding a bike, you can't unlearn how to do it. As you begin to understand HOW stories work, you'll never look at another story the same way again.

ROCK YOUR OWN STORIES

Now that you understand HOW stories work (STEP 1), let's get our hands dirty. We will walk you through the process of identifying and work-shopping your own stories.

 

Depending on how brave your team members are, we could even break up into teams and have a storytelling competition using what we just workshopped.

This is the part of the story where momma bird shoves the chicks out of the nest. We take everything we've discussed about storytelling and pair it with everything our team has learned about you and we create a "Narrative Guide" for your team to follow moving forward.

 

This is a follow-up tool that we custom create for your organization. It's designed to help your team hit the bullseye every time you tell a story. As opportunities come up in the future for you to tell stories, you just whip this puppy out and get to work.
