Storytelling Workshops & Keynotes

Storytelling that
lands in the room.

Workshops and keynotes for B2B commercial teams. The craft that turns a sharp positioning argument into a pitch your team can deliver under pressure, and that survives being repeated by someone who is not you. Built on your real content, led personally by Jon Billett.

[ Origins ]

Where the attention work comes from.

I'm a member of the Magic Circle. Magic is, underneath the spectacle, the craft of attention: where people look, what they miss, and what they remember afterwards. The same mechanics decide whether your value survives a pitch and gets repeated accurately when you have left the room. A lot of the attention and recall work in these sessions comes straight from it.

At Salesforce, I built and rolled out the storytelling, presentation and whiteboard skills programme for its commercial teams, worldwide. The craft in these sessions is the same one I scaled across a global enterprise sales org.

What participants say.

Direct, unedited reflections from people who have been in the room, at SKOs, off-sites and working sessions across the enterprise SaaS world.

I've invested significant amounts of time in different education and training workshops. I can honestly say this was the most thought provoking and engaging, and the one which has driven most conversation, change in ways of working, and noticeable output.
