The best-told story does.

Storytelling for Influence

Welcome to Storytelling for Influence.

You are officially part of the pilot group.

STORYTELLING FOR INFLUENCE

The best message rarely wins. The best-told story does.

Whether pitching to leadership, rolling out a change, speaking at a conference, or briefing a stakeholder, your message is competing against meetings, emails, reports and distractions.

Storytelling for Influence is a practical workshop designed to help your messages cut through, stick and inspire action.

Drawing on insights from psychologists, performance experts, stage actors and AI engineers, you will learn to turn complex messages into clear, compelling stories.

During the session, you will bring a real communication challenge and work through a proven process: clarify your core message, build your story using a three-act structure, then refine your delivery through feedback and practice.

You will leave with a story that is ready to tell.

YOUR SESSION

Tuesday 30 June 2026
10am to 12pm
Hive Space, Level 9
121 Exhibition Street

CRAFTED BY THREE DISCIPLINES

This program was built from the ground up by experts across psychology, storytelling, and AI. Each brings a distinct lens. Together, they create the three perspectives that will guide, challenge, and support you throughout the session.

Storytelling
The craft

Storytellers

Structure and techniques to draw in an audience. The three-act framework that turns flat information into a story people carry with them.

Psychology
The science

Psychologists

The science of attention, nerves, and messages that stick. Why brains remember stories and forget bullet points.

AI
The innovation

AI Engineers

Tools that sharpen your message, accelerate research, and provide instant feedback on clarity and delivery.
