“We have just completed two days of training with StrategyStory. Our challenge was trying to find a way to talk about and present a complex project, and to shape its future. The workshops were excellent. The team is really well organised and got us to exactly what we needed to achieve – and did I mention, it was good fun as well as practical!”

Head of Creative Industries, HIE

Whether it is for one or two of you or an entire business, we have a format that works.
“We invited Kate Hooper from Strategy Story to be both a keynote speaker and also lead a workshop at the Moray Business Women 2022 Time to Thrive Conference. Kate absolutely nailed the brief. Using Story Strategy’s ‘Red Squirrel‘ framework she was able to equip our audience with a new tool to help their businesses grow and thrive. Kate was an inspiring and motivational speaker and the feedback from our 80+ delegates was overwhelmingly positive.”
Ailsa Stinson,
President Moray Business Women
Each workshop features new research-driven insights and techniques, practical illustrations from business and enjoyable exercises and learning activities to support teams to develop their strategy and their story.
Oh and you can also get access to our online training materials too! Videos, workbooks, essential reading to keep the learning going long beyond the workshop.
We don’t like 1-size fits-all; we don’t do off-the-shelf; we won’t do anything to you – we will work in partnership with you. So, if this sounds like what you could be doing with at this stage in your journey, don’t hesitate to get in touch and we can work with you to tailor a workshop that is just right for you.
