Your Story Matters
To achieve optimal results in today’s business world, you must create and maintain an environment where everyone can feel comfortable in their workspace and their everyday interactions with peers and management.
But what does that really mean?
Every business is dictated by rules, processes and strategies. But one critical driver that is often overlooked is how we show up as individuals in our respective organizations.
When you bring your authentic self to work through story, you bring those processes and strategies to life, humanizing them and creating environment where your team can thrive:
- whether it’s a department or an entire company.
- in a manufacturing plant or a service-based firm.
- from closely held small businesses to Fortune 100 companies.
“Stories constitute the single most powerful weapon in
a leader’s arsenal.”
- Dr. Howard Gardner, Research Professor, Cognition and Education, Harvard Univ.
Our Approach
Judy and David explore the internal and external forces that make us who we are,
drive how we “show up” in both professional and personal situations, and how bringing
more of ourselves into the workplace creates a strategic advantage.
We’ll balance business needs with a discussion of the power of our individual stories, and how we can use them to improve our work experience, and on a larger scale, the organizations in which we work.
Our Space
Judy and David create a comfortable, engaging atmosphere (virtual or in-person) that invites conversation, a safe place where people can connect as humans without titles or “levels.”
Make It Yours
We customize the format and personalize the curriculum to meet
your organizational or business needs.
