How the sessions work

Storytelling for Leaders is a two-day workshop that can be delivered virtually or face to face and tailored to your organisation.

Participants work through practical activities that develop their stories step by step. The programme draws on techniques from journalism, public relations, improvisation, filmmaking, psychology and participants’ own experiences.

The workshop also explores lessons from Disney’s approach to creating appealing heroes, fascinating worlds and compelling storylines – alongside improvisational techniques for developing stories when the ending is unknown and control is shared with the audience.
