Corporate Narrative Training
S.T.A.R. is a proprietary framework that helps companies expand and explain their narrative.
"A business without an ability to tell their story isn't a business at all."
S.T.A.R. focuses on four building blocks
SAFE- We must create safe environments for stories to grow and be nurtured. Our business story should be ever evolving, but are we fostering a place for that growth?
TEAM- When we build our personal narratives we don't always depend on teammates but our businesses thrive on TEAM-work, but when we have so many different backgrounds and stories how do we connect these dots? Our abilities or inability to work as a team, dictate our business story.
AUTHENTIC- We believe stories that are told from an authentic place, we also ( as customers) can tell when it isn't. We will unpack how to be more authentic in our narrative approach.
REASSURE- When people work for us or spend money with us, one of the biggest things we leave on the table is our capacity to reassure them. People just want to feel and know that they are valuable to you. They want to know they aren't just another person on an assembly line or just another dollar in your pocket.
My frameworks will help you retain employees and also build long lasting relationships with customers and clients.
The S.T.A.R. method can be broken into smaller segments or for better results instituted for a calendar year.
S.T.A.R. building blocks
These units below can be added into the S.T.A.R. curriculum.
