Helping leaders tell purpose-driven STORIES

Strategic storytelling training, coaching and authoring.

Joel’s workshops and coaching give you the tools to craft and tell brief brilliant stories. Tools that set you apart as an authentic leader who can leverage the power of stories to move audiences into action.
