As a leader, your story is the most compelling tool to persuade, manage change, communicate your vision, and to transform complex ideas into inspiring calls to action. With 20 years experience as an executive leadership coach, Terence Mickey has worked with Fortune 100 companies to develop their leaders into master storytellers. “As a coach, he meets leaders where they are, quickly identifies opportunities for growth and then pushes them to their edge and beyond with discipline, empathy, and support,” says Linda Knox, former Experience Officer and VP, Sales and Leadership Development at Prudential.

For whom

Leaders and Employees in Corporate Communication or in Communication Agencies

Goal

This workshop is designed for leaders who want to become better communicators and leverage their personal experience as a management tool to navigate change, increase sales and inspire innovation and collaboration within their organizations. You will learn storytelling methods and strategies to mine your own experience for the purpose of connecting with employees, customers and media.

Profit

Trust, connection, clarity and inspiration are the hallmarks of a good relationship between a leader and their audiences. Stories are the most powerful way to establish these critical attributes in your communication as a leader. Finding your stories helps you understand yourself as a leader, and if your team, customers, and the public  understand you better through your stories, you give them more ways to build bridges with you, leading to greater trust and opportunities for change and growth. Storytelling is a flexible tool that allows you to convey lessons, instill your organization’s values, and acknowledge your team’s contributions.

The Process

We will work together for an intensive day. You will learn the methods and strategies for leadership storytelling, and you will have an opportunity to share a story and receive detailed feedback.
