Lead with story
Maximise your potential
with the power of storytelling.
At Good Prose Studios, we believe in the power of story to help people achieve their true potential.
In our strategic storytelling courses, we teach you how to harness storytelling – be it in the boardroom, the courtroom, the classroom, the community, in performance, or in personal relationships.
We distil our decades of experience as professional storytellers into practical lessons on communication, impact, influence, advocacy, engagement, commitment, achieving excellence, resolving conflict and building trust.
Our approach is grounded in the universal drivers of storytelling, equipping you with techniques to influence, persuade and connect with your audience, no matter the setting. We also reveal what story can teach us about the world, ourselves and others.
Through keynotes, training workshops and tailored consulting packages, we draw on the power of story to help you capture hearts and minds.
We offer professional development training in strategic storytelling to professionals across industries, including:
- CEOs, leaders, directors, entrepreneurs and founders
- Young executives and emerging leaders
- Psychologists, psychiatrists and healthcare professionals
- Lawyers, barristers and legal advocates
- Academics, early career researchers, educators and teachers
- Writers, directors, filmmakers, performance artists and podcasters
Lead with Story - for Leaders.
Build influence, through the power of story
Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less, says international leadership coach Jim Maxwell. We design tailored storytelling strategies for leaders, CEOs, founders and entrepreneurs who want to build influence with their teams, boards, donors and clients. Through keynotes, workshops and tailored consulting packages, we help you use story to influence, inspire and seed legacy. Using principles gleaned from the ancient art of storytelling, we’ll also coach you how to better position your ideas and your people to achieve success.
Lead with Story - in the Community.
Bring healing, through the power of story
We train health professionals, clinicians, community workers and therapists in the art of storytelling, so they can connect with and bring healing to their patients and clients. Through keynotes, workshops and tailored consulting packages, we help you identify and use compelling narratives, so you can influence stakeholders, educate teams and advocate effectively across platforms – from the clinic to the conference stage. Using principles gleaned from the ancient art of storytelling, we’ll also consider what drives people and communities, so you can enhance your transformative work.
Lead with Story - for Academics and Early Career Researchers
Tell stories, communicate knowledge
The best teachers ignite their students’ imaginations. By harnessing the power of storytelling, educators can transform complex ideas into simple truths that inspire. Through keynotes, workshops and tailored consulting packages, we help educators identify and use compelling narratives to engage better with their students. We also help academics and early career researchers communicate knowledge – ensuring their ideas resonate in lecture theatres, at conferences, in the media or before funding panels. From story, educators can also learn more about themselves and their colleagues; and what funders, students and universities need from them.
Lead with Story - for Lawyers.
Advocate better, through the power of story
At its simplest, a lawyer’s job is to advocate for their clients. Story can supercharge your advocacy. We train lawyers, barristers and legal professionals seeking to advocate better on behalf of their clients. Through keynotes, workshops and tailored consulting packages, we focus on how to craft compelling narratives that persuade juries, influence decision makers, and engage clients. Using principles gleaned from the ancient art of storytelling, we’ll also consider what moves people and motivates their behaviour.
Lead with Story - for Writers, Artists and Performers.
A storytelling masterclass, for master storytellers
As professional storytellers, we know what we do. But do we know why we do it? We work with artists, writers, filmmakers, directors and performers who want to tell better stories. Through keynotes, workshops and tailored consulting packages, we focus on the universal drivers of story, so you can craft narratives that truly move audiences. We’ll also provide a masterclass in the ancient art of storytelling, exploring the very best storytelling and why it connects with audiences – across centuries, and even cultures. Strengthen your artistic purpose, clarify your vision, and reinvigorate your work for stage, page and screen.
