Culture has been passed on through storytelling for thousands of years.

Whether morals through children’s fairy tales or life lessons shared in the biography of a hero, we hand down our ways of living through stories.

Our brains are wired for story. Stories help us make sense of the world. The workplace is no different. Stories are a powerful tool to shape, shift and strengthen your culture.

Who are the storytellers?

Do your stories influence your team’s behaviours?

How could your stories connect and engage your people?
