Companies are only as strong as their people, and never has individual happiness and well-being been under greater threat than now. And no one — no industry, no business division, no level of leadership — is immune. Organizations are desperate to find a way to affect individual mindset as a means for achieving collective excellence. Is it even possible? The answer is yes… through self-storytelling.

Researchers have long studied the profound impact inner-thoughts have on outer-experience and the results are in; more important than “you are what you eat,” when it comes to your success, happiness and overall satisfaction with life… “you are the stories you tell yourself.” Self-stories shape the way people feel and the actions they take. Therefore, individuals who take back control of their self-stories have the ability to improve their mindset, increase their happiness and even impact their professional results.

Hall has presented this unique perspective on the power of self-storytelling for thousands across the globe.

Storytelling workshops are ideal for clients who not only want attendees to gain excitement and applicable insights into applying strategic storytelling, but to also put the skill to work under Kindra’s expert guidance.

The Half Day Workshop begins by generating participant excitement about the storytelling opportunity through Kindra’s compelling one hour keynote. Through research, case studies, and her own expertly-told stories, Kindra proves that a simple shift to telling compelling stories will create massive and measurable results.

In the second phase, participants examine the stories being told or missing within their organization. Prior to the workshop, Kindra analyzes the current company messaging—including but not limited to videos, websites, brochures, PowerPoint presentations, sales pitches and through interviews. After discussion and discovery, Kindra leads the group through guided exercises to develop a suite of stories to deliver the organizations most important messages and achieve their most urgent goals. The final phase includes participants telling stories live and receiving real-time feedback and additional story techniques from Kindra.
