Storytelling Workshop
Using stories to support you in your diverse leadership efforts might have not come to your mind. And yet! If you are looking for deeper engagement in the company and across the marketplace, strategic alignment, ability to manage change, influence, relevance, then storytelling is definitely what you want to look at more closely.
What is storytelling?
Storytelling is influence.
And when you tell stories purposefully, you establish identity. Build culture. Speed the change process. Enrich the brand. Align people to the strategy. Attract talent. Engage the marketplace. Capture knowledge. Lead. Grow. Connect. Inspired by D. Hutchens
The more compelling your story is, the more likely it is to get inside your audience! Those stories that are shared over and over again? These are the core stories of your leadership!
Storytelling in the workplace
This is about understanding the power and applicability of storytelling. Stories work when they entertain, are memorable and support relationship building. A story used strategically in the workplace is best characterized as a cohesive narrative that ties facts and information together.
The most effective stories are well-researched, harness the power of emotion, use personal details and offer compelling characters.

Combining storytelling with personas
Storytelling personas are used to map out how an audience will respond to a story, presentation, or pitch. What do they know, think, and feel before they have experienced the story? What would you like them to know, think, and feel afterward?
Using storytelling personas can help you to figure out how to reach different groups in your target audience that have different perspectives and needs.
