The Story Safari: a one-to-one walk & talk to unearth your leadership story
Storytelling: it’s one of the most valuable leadership tools. Stories humanise your communications. They emotionally engage your audience. They’re a powerful way to inspire teams, nurture culture, drive behaviour change.
Stories are gettable, visceral. They make the complex simple. Communicating your story lets others know what you're about, and why they should trust you.
And right now, stories matter more than ever. Our attention is overwhelmed. Back-to-back meetings; a barrage of messages and notifications; an abundance of information. Stories cut through the noise.
To help you uncover the story you want to share, I’m now offering my one-to-one London Story Safaris to senior executives, founders and leaders - to anyone who wants to tell great stories.
You might want to nail your organisation’s origin story or craft a narrative that prompts behaviour change. Or perhaps you have a major presentation coming up and need an effective, clear story to illustrate your point. Or you’d like to generate thought leadership ideas.
Story Safaris are 90 minute in-person sessions where we walk together to set the cognitive wheels in motion. I act as your ideas partner and sounding board, asking questions to shape your thoughts into a concrete and meaningful tale. You get full notes after the session.
Who is a Story Safari for? Senior executives, founders and leaders who want to harness the power of storytelling in their leadership.
When and where? The sessions take place in central London and are scheduled at a time to suit you. These sessions are similar to the Fuel Safaris I’ve been running for the past seven years but with a focus purely to uncover your story.
