Participants will:
- Experience how stories biologically create trust and attention
- Learn the difference between describing products/services and defining meaning
- Identify moments that shape belief in and outside organizations
- Practice a low-pressure, high-impact story framework
- Leave with tangible, actionable tools and language they can leverage immediately with their teams and their clients
Ideal for: Executive and leadership teams, next generation leaders
Leader Masterclass (90 Minutes -or- Virtual Series)
Ideal follow-up to Signature Session
This is a more targeted session for leaders focused on specific business and culture challenges. It includes a discovery meeting with Danielle and key executive stakeholders to understand needs and ideal outcomes. But it shouldn’t be called a workshop. People don’t cry at workshops, because they were so moved by a story. They don’t laugh so hard it hurts. They don’t learn things about themselves that change their perspective on leadership. And they rarely walk away with skills they can master immediately. That’s why ‘workshop’ sells this short. And also why people love it.
Ideal for: Executive and leadership teams, next generation leaders
The Sales Workshop (90 Minutes)
The Story Effect: From the Inside Out
This session gives sales teams the most powerful tool they’ll ever use, storytelling. But not just to be impressive or entertaining. To create real, raw, human connection, the kind that creates lifelong customers and clients and sustainable business. Teams will learn a little about the science of how the right stories lead to action and will feel the effect of stories. They’ll take away a toolkit to level up their skills the very next day.
Ideal for: Sales teams with moderate experience, account/relationship management teams
