Designed Around Your Team

Interactive, hands-on, and built around your real work

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.

A typical workshop

A practical storytelling method

  1. Participants learn the GHOST Method™ — my easy, step-by-step framework for telling stories that captivate attention, spark curiosity, and take listeners on an emotional journey, priming them to remember, tell others, and take action.

  2. We review a few exemplary stories and break them down together so participants can see how story elements work together to captivate, entertain, and move the listener.

  3. Participants apply what they've just learned, sharing stories of their own and getting feedback.
