True Storytelling Workshops for Business and Organisations
“Michael facilitated a True Life Storytelling workshop for our conference of 60 participants and it was one of the highlights of the weekend! With such ease and grace, he made everyone feel so comfortable and created a warm atmosphere that was very inviting - I couldn’t believe how many participants were jumping up to tell stories. Michael was brilliant and we’d highly recommend him for a bit of light-hearted fun with meaningful connections to boot”

“Humans simply aren’t moved to action by dense Powerpoint slides or spreadsheets packed with figures. People are moved by emotion. The best way to emotionally connect other people to our agenda begins with ‘Once upon a time…’

Why Storytelling for Business?
Every TED Talk starts with a story, engaging the audience with a personal anecdote that grabs their attention and makes them want to relate and hear more. People remember stories. Not facts and figures. When stories become part of the fabric of your company you will be vividly remembered by colleagues and clients and you create a more open culture.
True storytelling workshops bring teams closer together, teach advanced presentation skills, naturally boost productivity and creativity, help generate fresh ideas and discover new approaches to problem solving. This feeds into developing stronger client relationships, aligning employees’ story with the story and ethos of the company and helping to foster a supportive and creative culture in the workplace.
