WHO WE ARE
The Hero’s Journey delivers precisely-targeted, business-relevant, engaging solutions to a range of the most important challenges facing organisations today.
We will help your company acquire the storytelling skills necessary to increase performance, cooperation and self-awareness – and thereby guarantee loyalty, growth and employee satisfaction.
Storytelling Skills
The difference between success and failure in business depends to an overwhelming degree on our employees’ levels of storytelling skill, intelligence and maturity – and how we can support them in developing all three. Our library of +60 storytelling skills skills transform the working environment and help individuals and teams move towards greater self-awareness, maturity and cooperation.
How We Work
Multinational Marketing Firm
We delivered an unique and highly prized program of development for outstanding employees. We ran a series of in-person 2 days events in Paris, Barcelona and Venice, over a period of 6 months. Each event was designed to help employees connect to themselves, their team, and their potential to wider influence across the organisation.
Investment Management Company
We supported the recruitment of Early Career Talent in the high competitive field of investment. Our client was looking for exceptional candidates from a diverse range of academic backgrounds. We designed an in-person evening event which included a keynote talk on the storydiscovery skill of Curiosity, which we pinpointed as critical to Early Career succes. As part of the session, we also facilitated a Testdrive Your Dreamjob activity – allowing both potential recruits and existing talent to connect meaningfully and authentically.
Global Engineering Firm
We worked with a global engineering firm to help build their talent pipeline of upcoming and ambitious female leaders. In this unique event, we designed a full day in person experience including interactive workshops on topics on What Story are You Living?, Confidence and Influence. The day culminated in an ‘Stories Lab’ where female leaders worked together to commit to future initiatives for the business.
Why Our Approach Works
WE GO DEEP
We understand the intricacies and complexities of human behaviour. We put our understanding of storytelling to work to help your people to grow into the best possible version of themselves. We nurture employees to become less defensive, more self-aware, more confident, kind, cooperative and engaged. We never lose sight of how storytelling knots impact performance – and are there to skilfully, subtly and systematically untie them.
WE FOSTER SELF-KNOWLEDGE
We help employees reduce the blind spots in their story, better appreciate how they are seen by others and understand how to unleash their potential. We facilitate growth and emotional maturity.
WE MAKE IT RELEVANT
Our interventions feel speedy, entertaining and – most importantly –personally relevant. Belonging to a consumer brand, we know how to engage the whole person with content that is thoughtful, lively, aspirational and helps employees not just at work, but across their whole lives.
WE BRING HARMONY AND ENERGY TO THE WORKFORCE
We build a trusting storytelling environment that allows for honesty, reflection and self-development. Employees have the opportunity to explore and tackle central issues – and return to their tasks newly focused and inspired.
BROAD AND INSPIRING
We engage participants with rich stimulus and stories (rather than quick-fix formulas) to achieve long-term change. Our curriculum includes powerful, memorable ideas from art, literature, film, culture, history and philosophy.
SKILLS FOR LIFE
We recognise that fostering strong, healthy, relationships between team members is essential to building an effective organisation, and that developing storytelling skills and self-knowledge will be of continuing benefit throughout each person’s professional journey.
