Business Storytelling
Use Narrative to Win
Agreement and Alignment
Many situations require you or your staff to get buy-in: from agreement on your proposed strategy to approval of initiatives, budgets, and other recommendations. Our business storytelling program teaches and coaches the skills required to build presentations that weave logic and emotion together to make your audience lean forward and say “yes”. We help program participants switch from presenting basic observations and status reports to presenting insights and recommendations; from being viewed as reporters to being viewed as trusted advisors. We help you and your team communicate ideas and recommendations so they go viral, continuing to build buy-in long after live presentations are over.
You will have significantly higher confidence that your next all-hands pitch will be enthusiastically received and your staff can win decisions at all levels. Your gift officers will be better prepared to make their case to large individual donors, and your next foundation grant request presentation will be more compelling and persuasive.
We’ve trained over 1,500 students and consistently receive very positive feedback for this unique professional development program.
