Storytelling

Storytelling is the number one way to connect with your staff, your customers and your community because it speaks to the heart and the head. Bring out your best stories and give meaning to the people you want to influence, to raise engagement and productivity.

Stories are the key to embedding your organisation’s Mission, Vision, Purpose, Strategy and Values. Organisational storytelling makes abstract concepts, like your culture, real. Stories at Work will give your leaders a fresh, high-impact way to communicate effectively to your people and clients.

Wade has been helping businesses bridge the gap between targets and people through storytelling for 25 years. Now he’s distilled that knowledge into one simple method, a memorable and dynamic process that gives your people a way to really belong to something bigger than themselves – your organisation.
