Transform the way your people communicate with the game-changing power of storytelling
Ex Cyber-Sec professional turned Storytelling Coach.
Long before I became a storytelling coach, I was a tech professional who bored people with death by PowerPoint, until… I discovered storytelling.
It transformed me from a boring bullet point presenter to someone who now uses stories to engage, inform and influence others, every single day.
My tailored corporate public speaking workshops help teams and individuals – in Tech or Cyber Security – harness the power of storytelling to:
Share technical updates in a relatable way
Showcase the value of work performed
Make facts and figures easy to comprehend
Generate stakeholder buy-in & influence change
Present to executives and share the bigger picture
Become more effective in their roles
Depending on the duration you choose, your workshop can include some or all of the following fundamental elements of storytelling:
WHY – The Power of Stories
Understand why stories create connection and are more powerful than facts and figures alone
WHAT – Story Structure & Key Elements
Learn how to turn a basic story into a great story that’s engaging, persuasive and memorable
WHEN – Examples of Story Usage
Know when you can use a story and how to find an appropriate one to engage your stakeholders
HOW – Storytelling Approach
Recognise what a story actually is and what it isn’t, plus practical ways to leverage this communication skill
PRACTICE – Participation & Feedback
Implement, practise and refine your storytelling, receive feedback and kickstart the use of stories moving forward
Q&A – Questions & Answers
Tap into my experience and knowledge to get clarity about different storytelling strategies

JOHN O’DRISCOLL
Chief Information Security Officer
Being a young female in a male dominated workplace, I have struggled to find my voice and showcase the real me.
In the workshop, the simple scaffolding, wonderful analogies, learning through storytelling, and the practice, gave me strategies to take forward to be more confident.
Now, I speak up more often, and use narrative and storytelling to strengthen my message.
