Introduction to Business Storytelling
Telling stories enables people to forge strong business relationships
Interested in a Workshop?Storytelling helps people to connect and engage
Success in business is built upon strong relationships.
While hybrid working has benefits, many people find that their relationships with colleagues have suffered. Water cooler conversations are a thing of the past.
Screen time can be tiring and distracting, so people often switch-off and relationships are further eroded. So how can you enhance relationships between work colleagues?
Storytelling connects people and boosts trust.
When people feel a strong sense of connection, they trust each other more.
Engaging people has never mattered more. People who trust each other work better together and have each other’s backs.
Learning to tell stories that build relationships is the perfect place to begin your storytelling journey.
Connecting people through their stories enriches business.
Strong relationships allow people to open-up, engage and listen more readily.
Connected teams are more creative and better at solving problems.
Storytelling has tangible business benefits. Telling stories that connect, engage and build trust is the perfect place to start.

Introduction to Storytelling is suitable for groups of various sizes and can work well at conferences when the aim is to bond and energise a team.

Business storytelling FAQs
A few commonly asked questions about our training
There’s often confusion in business about what exactly storytelling in business is and how it can be effectively taught. It’s worth taking the time to see the answers to these commonly asked questions before you contact so you know what you may expect from our training and our approach.
Why do you run so many different storytelling workshops?
Storytelling in business is a powerful skill. We have found that people need to learn storytelling skills within the context of their day-to-day work. We offer context relevant courses that enable participants to apply their new-found storytelling skills to their work right away. Please get in touch to discuss your group's learning needs.
Can we have a workshop that includes content from two different workshops?
Yes, we often blend workshop modules so that we address a range of learning needs in a workshop programme. You may need a longer workshop to accommodate all elements. In some cases, two programmes differ so much that they need to be run separately. Please get in touch to discuss your group's learning needs.
How does Storytelling with Data differ from Data Visualisation?
These two programmes are completely different, yet highly complementary. Storytelling with Data focuses on learning to discover, craft and tell insightful and persuasive stories with data. Data Visualisation focusses on learning to bring data to life visually so that the insights conveyed from graphs, tables, or infographics are clear and easy to grasp. Since these two workshops are highly complementary, many clients book both to support their teams. Please get in touch to discuss your group's learning needs.
Can you provide training for a large group of people?
While most of our workshops are suitable for smaller groups, we can and do run workshops for larger groups too, depending on the context. Please get in touch to discuss your group's learning needs.
We have a limited time for training, do you run shorter workshops?
The more time you allocate to training, the deeper the learning will be. While we recommend a minimum of a day for most of our workshops to support participant learning, we can and do run shorter sessions in certain situations. Please get in touch to discuss your group's learning needs.
