The Power Of Storytelling: Inspire, Influence, Align
In this session, a Positive psychologist will explore the science of storytelling and its power to inspire and influence in the workplace.
Outline
Storytelling is one of the most enduring tools for human connection and a powerful way to communicate effectively in the workplace. Stories create meaning, shape culture and help teams align around shared goals. In fast-paced environments where clarity and connection are critical to success, narrative serves as a bridge between ideas and action.
This session explores the psychology of storytelling and why our brains are wired for narrative. We’ll examine the role stories play in shaping mindset, behaviour and motivation in others, as well as in ourselves. From sparking belief to reinforcing purpose, we’ll unpack how to use story as a lever for impact.

communicate with greater clarity and conviction.
Whether you’re leading people, projects or purpose, this is about using story to amplify your impact.
