THE CORE OF TRANSFORMATIONAL STORYTELLING
Narrative Backcasting: A Transformative Mindset for Future-Focused Leadership
At the core of your leadership storytelling workshop is Narrative Backcasting™, a visionary methodology that has been widely used in applications ranging from science to technology to the creative arts.

Narrative Backcasting enables you to:
Start by clarifying the goal of your messaging, rather than overwhelming them with convoluted backstory
Assess and navigate complex stakeholder landscapes with deeper insights into the human dynamics
Pinpoint the functional and emotional aspects necessary for effective communication
Shift mindsets and templates to improve how your message is heard
Transform change resistance into momentum
get role-specific takeaways

HOW WE lead HAS CHANGED
Why Leadership Storytelling Training Is An Urgent Priority
In a world of unprecedented volatility, the narrative itself is up for grabs. Today’s leaders need to think and act like storytellers, rather than relying on traditional communications approaches, which are failing in three critical ways:
The AI Revolution is Redefining Leadership
While AI excels at generating data and content, it cannot replace a leader's ability to envision preferred futures, build authentic trust, or navigate human complexity.
Trust in Leadership is at Historic Lows
In a climate of skepticism, facts alone no longer persuade or compel. Today's most effective leaders must build trust through new-world approaches: creativity, emotional IQ, and aligning values with action.
Organizational Resistance is Intensifying
The old command-and-control model of leadership is crumbling in the face of the accelerating pace of change. Leaders must balance taking responsibility for the big decisions with building the sustained buy-in needed for transformation.
Equip your team
Our leadership storytelling training equips executives with the strategic narrative capabilities to overcome these challenges.

Leadership Storytelling Training: Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most leadership communication training focuses on presentation delivery or message structure. Our leadership storytelling training addresses the deeper strategic challenge: how to develop and deploy narratives that drive organizational transformation. We focus on the cognitive and emotional dimensions of leadership storytelling, not just delivery techniques.
-
Through our confidential executive discovery process, we identify your team's specific strategic challenges, stakeholder dynamics, and transformation objectives. The program incorporates your actual strategic priorities and leadership challenges, ensuring immediate relevance and application.
-
Executive teams consistently report three key outcomes: accelerated stakeholder alignment, enhanced change leadership capabilities, and more authentic leadership presence. Leaders develop practical narrative tools they can apply immediately to their most pressing strategic challenges.
-
Yes. We've designed specialized versions of our workshop for virtual delivery that maintain high engagement and impact. Our virtual workshops utilize collaborative digital tools, breakout sessions, and specially designed activities that create meaningful interaction despite the digital format. Many clients choose a hybrid approach, with initial in-person workshops followed by virtual integration sessions.
-
Yes. I personally facilitate all workshops to ensure consistent quality and depth. For enterprise-level engagements that involve multiple workshops, Jordan leads the core program while occasionally bringing in carefully selected and trained associates for supporting components. This ensures the unique blend of emotional intelligence and strategic insight that defines our approach is present in every engagement.
-
Post-workshop support varies by package but typically includes implementation guidance materials, follow-up check-in sessions, leadership coaching options, and access to additional resources. Our $25,000 package includes two structured follow-up sessions and 90 days of implementation support. We believe real transformation happens after the workshop, which is why we emphasize sustainable integration into your team's actual work.
-
We establish clear success metrics during the discovery phase based on your specific goals. Common measurements include before/after assessments of stakeholder engagement, time-to-decision on key initiatives, team alignment scores, and qualitative feedback from key audiences. Clients typically see measurable improvement in the first 30 days, with significant transformation occurring over 90 days as new approaches are integrated into regular workflows.
-
Absolutely. Many clients begin with a single team workshop that demonstrates tangible results, then expand to a broader organizational approach. Our enterprise transformation program is specifically designed to embed new narrative capabilities across departments, creating organizational alignment and consistent stakeholder experiences. We've helped organizations implement storytelling as a core strategic competency that drives innovation, alignment, and external impact.
