Facts Are Fine.
But Only a Story Can Tell.

Leaders who make a difference have one thing in common: The ability to craft and deliver stories that tell. Stories that let facts find form to unleash change. Because basic public speaking and presentation skills aren’t enough anymore. Today’s leaders need to harness the power of storytelling to succeed.

At Articulation, our story is a simple one: we can help you become a better storyteller. We’ve helped leaders from business, education, science, healthcare, and philanthropy put their message into stories with impact.

Designed for easy, rapid deployment to individuals and teams stretched for time.
 
We developed our one-hour online classes in response to the Coronavirus pandemic — knowing that many teams and individuals are now working remotely, many for the first time, and many will continue to do so once the world gets through this troublesome time. Although shorter and open to more participants than our standard services, these classes will nonetheless offer individuals and teams the opportunity to develop and refine their storytelling, presentation, and live interaction skills.

Virtual classes with live instructors will be offered weekdays from 9 a.m.–6 p.m., (EST). To schedule your class, please email us here.

We may only see certain leaders once or twice a year when they are presenting. 
You can imagine how important it is that they convey information well to leadership.
