Communications Strategy Consulting
Work with Storytelling Consultant, Jordan Bower
As a storytelling trainer, I’ll help your team wrap your heads around the art and science of storytelling.
Every business team can apply storytelling techniques, mindsets and frameworks to improve the impact of your communication. The challenge is figuring out where and how.
In my business storytelling training workshops, I’ll lead your team through a highly engaging process that includes new ideas, new skills, best practice examples and plenty of fun as you develop the mindset and principles of effective leadership storytelling:
Create narrative arcs that lead your audience towards a clear call-to-action
Improve your understanding of audience needs so you can tailor your message
Identify current strategies and tactics that are no longer working, and initiate change
Develop an action plan for committing to improving your team’s storytelling
Initiate a broader narrative change journey

I work with executives, sales, marketing, product, finance, operations and many other teams across your organization.
As a storytelling consultant, I’ll help you develop authentic and compelling strategic messaging.
Narrative can be used throughout business to clarify strategy, develop buy-in and drive results. Much more than empty words you put on a website, strategic narrative connects who you are, what you do, where you’re going, and what you think about the future.
Used effectively, your strategic narrative can galvanize your internal or external audiences—unifying strategy, purpose, and culture to bring meaning and accountability. And, of course, to help you operate a more effective business.
Assess current narratives and understand where they’re falling short—and why
Connect with your personal creativity to make your strategic narrative authentic
Use innovative planning tools to stretch beyond what was towards what could be
Frame your messaging in formats that will resonate with your audience, including presentations, pitches, speeches, positioning, digital, video and much more
As a strategic planning facilitator, I’ll help you align your team around your vision for an innovative future.
The most important narrative in your business is your vision of the future—and the plans you make that will get you there. Or not.
Unlike traditional strategy planning processes, which analyze existing market data to decide what to do next, I work with frameworks like Backcasting to help you envision what you want to happen— and then map that backwards to experiments and changes you need to run right now.
Stretch outside-the-box towards a shared vision of a positive future
Work together with your team to address hidden emotional blockages to change
Clarify your vision into clear, strategic messaging for internal or external stakeholders
Build your confidence and capability to work with uncertainty
Improve your company’s ability to be adaptive and innovative
As a storytelling coach, I’ll guide you as you improve crucial leadership communication skills.
Every leader can use storytelling to elevate how they inform, engage, and inspire.
Whether you are a CEO earning buy-in for your strategic plan, a thought leader framing your ideas for your following, or an individual with a great story to tell, I’ll help you embrace the essential human truth: everyone has a story.
As your storytelling coach, I’ll help you figure out how to find and tell yours.
Improve your leadership communications skills
Transform dry messages into emotionally engaging narratives
Address communications challenges, like nerves and vulnerability
Engage your audiences—whether they are stakeholders, customers or friends
Connect with your creativity, self-expression and confidence
As a storytelling keynote speaker, I’ll inspire your audience with new mindsets, vision and skills.
Leadership is inseparable from storytelling. Storytelling runs much deeper than what you say. The landscape of business storytelling has changed, and every one of us needs to adjust it to it.
From this simple foundation, I build incredibly engaging, connected, and inspiring keynote speeches which I deliver to business and community-driven audiences. Every storytelling keynote speech begins with preliminary research to understand your audience, and is tailored to your venue, theme, and goals.
Challenge pre-existing conceptions about business communications
Connect to greater creativity, individuality and strategic vision
Discuss generative AI and peer into the future of leadership
Inspire your audience to get outside-the-box and start to think about change
Unlock new skills, capabilities and narratives for you and your team
A new way of thinking about business storytelling
It’s likely that you already know something about the value of strategic storytelling. Storytelling is crucial to enhancing leadership qualities, like confidence, connection and effectiveness. In today’s volatile times, storytelling is also fundamental to connecting with audiences who are seeking growth, purpose, and change.
But among many in business, there is still the old idea that storytelling is only good for presentations and pitches. That story is “spin”. As a storytelling consultant, my work often begins by disrupting this legacy way of thinking.
I see storytelling as the foundation of human-centered leadership. Storytelling unifies strategic thinking, emotional intelligence and the art of human connection. It requires insight, creative problem solving and courage.
I call this transformative storytelling:
Improving understanding of your audiences through emotional intelligence
Getting outside-the-box so you can craft—and change—compelling narratives
Developing authentic personal narratives that balance the professional and personal
Unblocking the flow of communication and collaboration with stakeholders
Building your leadership capacity to motivate, connect and inspire
Aligning around innovative strategic plans with your stakeholders and team
Helping your team become more adaptive, collaborative, and creative
