The flyover preview will consist of a 45-minute overview and 15-minute Q&A session with Kelly. Get a quick overview of Influencing with Story and how organizations are using it.

Our complimentary 4-hour public session is perfect for learning & development leaders who would like to evaluate the program for their organization.

Important! This is a full working session. You'll walk away with your own compelling story and help coach another participant as they develop theirs.


What's your story?

Stories compel others to listen. They can tap into our heads and hearts and draw our attention in a way that thoughts, data, and opinions, on their own, cannot.

Organizations, leaders, and individuals all need to be able to articulate a compelling story that resonates with their brand, mission, and vision. 

Storytelling is a learned capability. Influencing With Story™ is a dynamic, engaging learning journey that helps participants develop the skills to be effective influencers through the use of stories.

Participants will:

  • Tap into a proven structure for creating powerful stories
  • Learn how to integrate the 4C’s of influence into their stories
  • Develop strength in creating and delivering compelling, inspiring stories

Organizations will benefit from:

  • An increased flow of innovative ideas
  • Improved cross-functional working relationships
  • Increased speed of employee buy-in to organizational changes
  • Increased employee commitment

Influencing with Story™ is a discovery-based on-site or live virtual learning journey that focuses on building skills in influencing others through the use of stories.

You will have fun, you will feel challenged, and you will finish with a specific story for influencing a real-life stakeholder. Additionally, you will have new skills to add to your toolbox for increasing your influence power.

The full learning journey from our thought leader partners at Ocean Beach Consulting provides access to resources on an online learning platform for pre-work (on-demand modules) and post-work (impact survey, certificate, additional resources) for 90 days.
