Team-Building with Modern Storytelling

Connecting people thru empathy + design

How can storytelling strengthen the relationships of people who work together?

Since the beginning of time, stories have encouraged us to walk a mile in another person's shoes; to empathize with strangers — and, in the process, perhaps better understand ourselves.

Storytelling is valuable in business.

Persuasive stories can greatly improve a sales presentation, or elevate a company message.

When a story exchange takes place, a deeper level of engagement takes place; a bond is formed — and, the group is unified with empathy.

STORYLINES leverages this empathy with a variety of storytelling + design techniques to create authentic connections in the workplace.

How it works

• Members of your team meet over several weeks to run a series of exercises and craft an original story.

• Group work and one-on-one coaching takes place to pen a unique tale.

• We meet to prepare stories for live presentation.

• A Story Salon is hosted for a select audience. Cibo + Vino are served.

• Stories are recorded + posted to our website.

Outcome

• Strengthen teams using empathy as a foundation

• Turn stakeholders into competent storytellers

• Dynamic collaboration skills

• Improved confidence on stage

• Listening + feedback skills

• An authentic team bond

Summary

By developing the skills available through a group story exchange, people improve their ability to make connections with others, develop the tools to find inspiration quickly — and, at the core, improve happiness and productivity in the workplace.
