Our workshops and training are highly participatory, active and fun.

With our approach to storytelling, you can grow your communication abilities, build up leadership skills, collaboratively investigate strategies and changes, or create and define your team’s best practices for presentations.

We create an informal but focused, energetic and safe working environment, where participants can get the most from storytelling.

Our most popular workshops cover:

Communication Skills.

Leadership Development.

Presentations.

Presence and Impact.

Change and Strategy.

The Collaborative Story:

In this workshop we facilitate senior leaders, partners or teams to find solutions, plan how to bring strategies, changes or developments to life, tangibly define a brand or clarify a new service or way of working.

Having found alignments between each other: a shared vision, a united purpose, a way forward, clear expressions of what could be that they can all stand by - participants can go on to give each of their audiences communication that is relevant, meaningful and appropriate to them.

6 – 20 participants.

Sharing the Message:

In our signature workshop, you can harvest the benefits of storytelling for your communication; when in-person or online.

Gain a process for the preparation and delivery of effective, engaging, authentic, purpose driven, memorable, empathetic and imaginative presentations, reports, talks, pitches and conversations.

The workshop creates and structures your content so it is clear and has purpose, builds greater awareness of what to include that is relevant and of interest to your audience and provides ways to say what you want to say so it is heard, believed and acted on.

Leave with confidence in your content and greater awareness of how to better relate to your audiences. You will be able to initiate greater trust and mutual interest, so that more of what you say is heard, resulting in positive outcomes.

6 – 12 participants.

I had the most fantastic experience at theWholeStory’s workshop and have been talking about it nonstop since.
Genuinely, I haven’t participated in such an impactful and relevant training workshop in a very long time (possibly ever!)

The first time I saw Ben work with someone, I thought ‘Oh, come on, that’s not going to work’…and then a seemingly completely different person started speaking to the group. Ben’s ability to find the speaker within us, to build confidence and impact with small, simple and easy changes to our behaviour, is a form of magic.

Making the Connection:

Now that so much of our work is done through a screen, how we connect and relate with each other, online and in person, is harder to do, but more important than ever.

Discover how your body, movement, use of space and voice can authentically create a positive relationship with those around you. Your body and words can work congruently to increase your own confidence and other people’s belief in you.
