Your Leaders Already Have The Stories. Most Never Use Them
Every leader has experiences that could change how their team thinks. A project that failed. A call made under pressure. A turnaround nobody expected.
Most of those experiences stay untold. The strategy deck goes out instead, and the message is forgotten by the end of the week.
Powerful Stories is our newest experience. It gives your leaders a simple, repeatable way to turn what happened to them into what it means for their team.
Not a public speaking course. A practical way for your leaders to influence through storytelling.
What You Will See In 90 Minutes
The showcase runs as a live, cut-down version of the programme. You experience it the way your leaders would.
- Why some stories stick and most don’t, drawn from Explore Performance’s own real-life expedition stories.
- SWIM, our four-step storytelling framework, applied live.
- How leaders use it to communicate change, coach their people and share lessons learned.
- How the programme runs inside your organisation.
The SWIM Framework
Situation sets the scene and the context. What brings the experience to life through the turning points. Insight names the lesson. Meaning connects that lesson to your audience and why it matters to them.
From what happened to you, to what it means for them.
Set the scene and establish the context.
Bring the experience to life through unexpected events, challenges and turning points.
Reveal the key discovery or lesson from the experience.
Connect that insight to the audience and explain why it matters to them.
How The Programme Runs
One to two hours. Delivered as an interactive keynote or a facilitated workshop, in person or virtual. Built for leaders, managers and teams, from groups of 5 to audiences of 500.
Your leaders leave with a framework they can use the next day, and the confidence to use it.
Who Should Join
HR, L&D and talent leaders planning leadership programmes, conferences or change communication for 2027. Bring a colleague from the business if it helps.
Trusted by leadership teams at UBS, AWS, TikTok, Sanofi and Standard Chartered. In 2025, our work won Brandon Hall Group Gold for Best Learning and Development Programme.
