Storytelling Workshops
Looking for an inspiring storytelling workshop for your team?
Storytelling is one of the most important tools that leaders, sellers, and entrepreneurs can use to inspire in today’s business environment.
While storytelling is extremely important, very few people master it. Most people don’t get started because they think that you’re either a natural-born storyteller — or not. Let’s be clear — storytelling is a skill. However, it’s a skill that can be learned and honed through training, practice, and the right mindset.

Our storytelling Workshops are
Highly engaging
Our workshops are incredibly interactive, incorporating exercises from improv theater, acting, and stand-up comedy. If one person looks at his or her phone during the workshop, we have failed.
Relevant for business
We focus on tools and techniques that work in business. Instead of teaching a Hollywood movie structure, we focus on a simple 4-step story structure.
Motivating
Our goal is that every participant leaves the workshop inspired, excited to apply the learnings at work, and confident about his or her storytelling skills.

In the storytelling training, you’ll pick up the tools to tell incredible stories at work. You’ll learn how find, structure, and deliver impactful stories. Plus, you’ll have a blast doing it!
Sure, thing. Here’s a sample story from one of the participants of our workshop, Julio Cesar Santos, Head of Data Operations at Making.com. He uses this story with his team, co-workers, and customers to show what really matters to him.
“In January 2009 I started my first job at DEI consulting in Merida, Mexico.
A little nervous, I enter the office. My boss is already there. He welcomes me and shows me my seat. On the wall I see this big print, saying: ‘Comunicación: Primero, lo primero’, which translates to ‘First thing, first: Communication’. It’s this typical, cheesy statement, that I don’t give much thought to.
A little later that day my boss comes to my office and asks: ‘Julio, can you make me coffee?’
I know, today this seems odd, but keep in mind: This is Mexico in 2009 + I’m an intern.
And I say ‘sure.’ What I don’t say is that I’ve never prepared coffee in my life. I’ve tried coffee one time before and hated it.
I go to the kitchen and try to replicate what I’ve seen my mum doing all these years. I open the coffee machine, pour the coffee powder all the way to the top, and hit the start button.
“Voila”, it works. 2min later, coffee is ready.
I bring my boss a cup of coffee.
He takes a sip, pauses, and looks up to me a bit confused.
‘Julio, come with me. Let’s go to your seat.’ At my seat, he points to the print at the wall that says ‘First thing, first: Communication’.
He then says: ‘Julio, have you ever prepared coffee before?’
Getting a little red, I admit: ‘No, it’s the first time.’
He then says: ‘Julio, your coffee was way too strong. You probably poured in 5 times more coffee powder than you should. I put this print into everyone’s office for a reason. Communication is very important in our team. If you don’t know something, ask. If you disagree on something, say it. If timelines change, let us know. Communicate openly and proactively.”
As you know, I’m not an intern anymore, but the lesson still applies to everything that I do. In my job I commit to communicate as openly and proactively as possible. And I expect the same from my team.”
Nope! Just bring an open mind and a willingness to participate. We’ll guide you through the rest.
Yes! You’ll receive materials and resources to continue your storytelling journey after training. We’re also here to answer any questions or provide guidance even after the workshop concludes.
While we give storytelling workshops for varying audience, we recommend to keep the number of participants ideally around 8-12 people (max up to 20 people).
This allows everyone to get the attention and feedback they need.
