The Power of Storytelling: A differentiating leadership skill
Our brains are wired for story, which transforms facts and emotion into engaged responses and actions. The structure of storytelling is agnostic; the concept is universal. Stories bring people together.
The benefits of working with me as your storytelling coach:
Learn a proven storytelling framework: a repeatable structure that you can use to shape and share your story in any setting.
Build courage, clarity and confidence: a clear vision for your story and the courage to tell it with authority and authenticity.
Understand choice: the permission to let go of the old stories that no longer serve you and the choice to create a new story that does.
Gain new perspectives: a new perspective of the power of storytelling and the impact it can have in both professional and personal settings.
Belief in yourself: owning your story brings new-found self-belief to your leadership lens.
Your story sets you apart: owning your story and the ability to tell it sets you apart in work and life.
It would be my privilege to partner with you to teach you this communications superpower.

"Susan is my go-to expert for communications across a complex organization. I engaged Susan to work with the executive leadership of my global organization to help with communicating following a major restructuring, and to help manage communications for a business integration. In both instances, not only was Susan responsive, receptive, and insightful, she has the skills to craft clear and concise messaging that resonates with the audience."
