Jordan’s Flagship workshop for teams
Transformational Business Storytelling Workshop for Teams
What if you could change your team’s mindset about communication? How might that transform how they engage with stakeholders, express the meaning behind data, and develop the intelligence to navigate complex change?
Start your Transformational Intelligence™ journey with a one-day workshop:
Understanding The CHallenge
The robots are becoming more human than the humans.
You know what’s never changed someone’s mind? A list of bullet points.
Today, when it is mission critical to communicate transformational insights, express complex ideas in clear language, and align teams around change, business teams need to learn how to do what AI can’t — transform business objectives into strategic, personalized, and authentic business stories.
Improve your team’s communications skills and impact in this immersive 1-Day business storytelling workshop — guided by a master coach & change facilitator.
Introducing Business Storytelling Training
Put down the low-hanging fruit and develop more innovative ways to communicate ideas, goals, and value.
Hi, I’m Jordan Bower — and over the last 15 years of working with more than 200 organizations, I have developed a unique toolkit called Transformational Intelligence™.
What’s Transformational Intelligence? In essence, it’s the ability to change — powered by the combination of our real analytical, emotional, social, and creative intelligences.
Transformational Intelligence allows us to break away from the traditional ways of doing things at work, so we can embrace new tools, mindsets, and possibilities that radically improve our team’s business imapct.
This 1-day workshop takes the core ideas of Transformational Intelligence and applies it to a familiar business problem — storytelling. In this immersive workshop, you will learn how to “tell your team’s story” to your real stakeholders by exploring innovative approaches to effective business communication — while also laying the foundation for your team’s development of Transformational Intelligence.
A Disruptive Definition of Business Storytelling:
This workshop isn't about how to follow a script. It’s about learning to be more precise, strategic, and effective in your team’s real business communication by engaging your emotional, creative, and social intelligence alongside your logical and data-driven analysis.
As your workshop facilitator, I see it as my job to coach, challenge, and disrupt your team’s current mindsets as much as it is to teach you the “how”. It’s a very different approach — and it works.

About Our Methodology
Why Choose This Business Storytelling Workshop?
Because markets are in flux, attention spans are… huh? and AI is transforming everything.
Traditional business storytelling training focuses on how to tell a story — by using conventional methodologies, scripts and frameworks like Situation, Task, Action, Result; Bottom Line Up Front; or more theatrical methods like the Hero’s Journey or the Pixar Story Spine.
These can be effective tools — but they all still rely on a deeper intelligence to assess who you’re trying to speak to, what you’re trying to say, and why.
My approach is to build this intelligence first. Transformational Intelligence™, my proprietary methodology, is about synthesizing four domains of human intelligence in a organizational setting to create unprecedented impact.
This workshop draws on my experience training over 200 organizations across diverse industries in the art and science of strategic storytelling:
Integrates Multiple Intelligence Domains - The workshop engages your team’s analytical, emotional, social, and creative intelligence
Focuses on Strategic Application - Connects business storytelling directly to business outcomes and organizational transformation
Builds Sustainable Capability - Develops skills that extend beyond the workshop to create lasting communication excellence
Provides Practical Tools - Offers immediately applicable frameworks that transform how your team communicates about change
“Leaders must evolve beyond being managers seeking incremental improvement to become visionaries with the courage to boldly imagine and pursue the future.”

Business Storytelling Workshop: Hypothetically Asked Questions
-
Most communication training focuses on delivery techniques or formulaic structures. Our business storytelling workshop addresses the deeper challenge: how to develop narratives that create meaning and drive change in complex environments. We focus on developing your team’s ability to apply storytelling concepts to your specific business challenges — rather than delivering narrow, formulaic storytelling frameworks.
-
We begin with a thorough discovery process that includes stakeholder interviews, analysis of your current communications, and identification of specific challenges and goals. This allows us to tailor every exercise, example, and discussion to your team's actual work. For sales teams, we focus on client-facing narratives; for technical teams, we emphasize translating complexity; for executive teams, we concentrate on vision and alignment. This customization ensures immediate relevance and application.
-
Teams consistently report three key outcomes: increased stakeholder engagement, improved ability to drive change initiatives, and enhanced cross-functional collaboration. Participants develop practical skills they can apply immediately while building a foundation for long-term communication excellence.
-
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.
-
Our approach focuses on the uniquely human capabilities that AI cannot replicate: emotional connection, contextual understanding, and value-based judgment. We help teams identify which communication tasks should be automated and which require human narrative intelligence, while building the skills and mindsets required to tell the difference. Participants learn to leverage AI as a tool while developing the higher-order communication skills that will remain distinctly human in the AI era.
