Storytelling Workshop for Leaders

An interactive workshop where leaders build stories they can actually use.

This is not a lecture about being more engaging. It is a practical session where Nigel works with real examples from the room and helps people turn them into stories that earn attention, build trust and make ideas stick.

Participants leave with a simple framework, a starter story bank and the confidence to use storytelling in day-to-day leadership, communication and influence.

International delivery available (in-person).

Who it’s for

Best suited to teams who need practical application

This workshop works especially well for:

• leadership teams
• sales and marketing teams
• professional services firms
• technology teams
• away-days and offsites
• internal development programmes
• groups working on change, buy-in or communication

If your audience wants application rather than just inspiration, this format is a strong fit.

What participants work on

Practical areas of focus

• finding stories in everyday work, even if people think they do not have any
• structuring a story so it earns attention and creates belief
• using story in buy-in conversations, change communication, coaching and presentations
• avoiding the common traps that make stories feel forced, vague or awkward

What participants leave with

• A practical framework they can reuse immediately
• A simple “story bank” template
• Draft stories built from their own real examples (format dependent)
• A repeatable 60-second prep tool: Human. Tension. Change.

Workshop formats

• Workshop-style session: typically 60–120 minutes
• Half-day deep dive: typically 150–180 minutes (more practice, more feedback)
  
• Follow-up session: optional add-on to refine stories after people have tried them in the real world

Tailoring

Built around your context

The core framework stays consistent, but Nigel tailors the examples and exercises to your audience and objectives.

That means participants work on real situations rather than generic case studies, making the output immediately relevant and easier to use afterwards.
