Course Description:
Strategic change depends not only on clear vision, but on whether others understand the direction, see its relevance, and feel connected to the work. Without coherence between strategy, purpose, and communication, even well-designed change efforts struggle to gain traction.
In this course, participants use story as a leadership tool to strengthen how change is articulated and understood. The course combines narrative practice with strategic reflection, supporting leaders in clarifying their change agenda. The course explores how leaders can use storytelling to clarify purpose, connect strategy to lived experience, and create coherence at the outset of a change effort. Participants analyze the challenges they are navigating, reflect on the stories shaping their leadership practice, and examine how personal narratives influence the way change is understood and led.
By the end of the course, participants articulate a clear change strategy and develop an origin story that anchors that strategy in meaning, experience, and leadership intent—creating a strong foundation for the work that follows.
