We work with heart-led, purpose-driven leaders and their teams

We love it when clients really get the transformative power of story. It’s like switching on a light and illuminating what’s always been there, just waiting to be uncovered.

Transformative training programmes

Our ‘Storytelling for Leaders’ programme provides leaders with the knowledge and tools to harness the power of storytelling for better open, honest and engaging communication. 

Using an engaging and energising approach, and including practical exercises, every session promises to be a memorable learning experience.

Leadership meetings, company offsites and awaydays

Curveball Stories is a high‑impact, half‑day experience designed for senior leadership teams who want to deepen trust, strengthen relationships, and model the kind of authenticity today’s organisations expect from their leaders.

Curveball Stories gives your leadership team a guided, expertly facilitated space to share these defining moments and to explore how storytelling can become a practical, strategic tool in their leadership toolkit.

Inspiring Talks

The Power of Storytelling takes participants on a journey to excite them about using stories in their work. It covers: why stories matter and how they are our most important vehicle for communication; how stories make the complex simple; how being curious and taking inspiration from the stories that touch us on a daily basis can feed our story mindset; the story habits and rituals you can start; with plenty of examples from inside and outside the world of business and brands.

“Thanks for de-mystifying storytelling - this was really inspirational!”

— Participant, March 2023
