Training and Development
A good story has the power to transport people and move them to action, whether it is to work for you, hire you, buy your product, or invest in your company. Schedule a learning experience with Storytelling.NYC and equip your team with powerful storytelling techniques that engage the heart as well as the mind.
A Practical Method
Jay studied psychology at Yale and later became Senior Editor at Psychology Today, where he covered neuroscience, decision making, persuasion, and consumer behavior.
Jay has led workshops for teams at Amazon, IMDb, the NeuroLeadership Institute, and Citibank.
What Participants Say
“I’ve been a writer for years, but after taking Jay’s workshop, I realized I never really understood what makes a story work. Now whenever I see a movie or hear a story, I have this X-ray vision for all the story elements and how they fit together.”
Designed Around Your Team
Workshops are available virtually or in person. A four-hour session tends to work well for an offsite, but Jay can customize the length and focus to fit your agenda.
Participants apply the techniques to their own real pitches, presentations, and stories rather than working only with generic exercises.
Everyone gets time to improve a piece of real work and get feedback from Jay and from each other.
