Small Stories, Big Impact
The stories already happening in your life are more powerful than you think.
Many leaders believe a good story requires something extraordinary - a crisis survived, a mountain climbed, a turning point that changed everything.
The truth is, the stories that actually move people are much smaller than that. A conversation in a parking lot. A behind-the-scenes moment that took an unexpected turn. An encounter so ordinary you almost didn't notice it.
Bobby Hulme-Lippert’s book, Small Stories About Big Things, is built on the conviction that the most overlooked moments in an ordinary life are often the most instructive. This session brings that conviction into the room.
In this session, participants will:
Find the stories they're already living and understand why the small, specific, almost-overlooked moments are the ones that actually land with other people.
Learn what's happening in the brain when a story works — why a well-told two-minute story does what a dozen slides of data cannot: it gets people to feel something meaningfully, and then act on it.
Practice a simple, repeatable framework for crafting stories they can use in meetings, presentations, and the conversations that actually shape culture.
This is a highly interactive session. Participants not only learn about the art of storytelling, they also write and tell stories in the room, get real-time feedback, and leave with a story they've already built and tested.
