Facilitated Learning Experiences led by JOrdan Bower
Transformational Team Workshops & Seminars
Jordan’s team workshops offer a structured, expertly facilitated environment for your team to explore Transformational Intelligence™ — developing tailored insights you can apply immediately to solve real team challenges.
Introducing Workshops
Explore how new mindsets, narratives, and strategies can help you solve today’s most pressing team challenges.
Over the last decade, I have facilitated more than 200 workshops for a huge range of executive, leadership and functional business teams.
In a workshop, a team sets aside normal work to spend focused time solving a specific business challenge. Often, these challenges relate to topics like communication (business storytelling), systems innovation, leadership development, or change management.
During a workshop, teams are introduced to a new skills or idea, and then given a structured environment to explore how to apply their new insights. The goal is to learn by doing, and the outcome is for each team — and every individual on the team — to develop both a practical roadmap and an emotional commitment for change.
A workshop is an excellent opportunity for a team to connect practical, pressing objectives with the broader vision of developing Transformational Intelligence™.
All workshops are tailored to the needs of a group. I facilitate every workshop.

TRANSFORMATIONAL INTELLIGENCE™ IN PRACTICE
Strategic Backcasting™:
Visionary Strategic Planning
From Forecasting to Backcasting
Traditional strategic planning typically relies on forecasting—projecting current trends forward to predict likely futures. This approach works well in stable environments but falls short in times of rapid change and disruption.
Strategic Backcasting reverses this process. By beginning with a clear vision of success — one that goes beyond goal-setting to get to the heart and soul of what you’re trying to accomplish — leaders can better understand and assess the functional, emotional, social, and creative shifts required to actualize that future state. You can set different priorities and design a different level of strategic narrative coherence.
The Practical Impacts of Backcasting:
Improve Creativity in Strategic Planning
Develop the capability to envision unprecdented future states — and align your team to use Backcasting to create transformation pathways that connect the present to that desired future.
Implement Adaptive Systems and Mindsets
Shift beyond risk mitigation to embrace complexity, ambiguity, and continuous learning as opportunities rather than threats — and embed this perspective into real business systems.
Transformational Capability Building
Improve agility, resilience, and cognitive flexibility by systematically develop the four TI intelligence domains through experiential learning, coaching, and practice communities.
Innovative Business Systems Redesign
Reimagine organizational structures, processes, incentives, and cultures to enable rather than constrain the expression of Transformational Intelligence.
Workshop package starts at $30,000, including detailed pre-workshop diagnostic.
Workshop Methodology
Introducing
Transformational Intelligence™
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.”
