The Power of Storytelling in the Workplace

Everyone has a story. But often our stories are not told, lost in the ever moving, buzzing and often noisy busy life. Work, stress, ambition, and goals - work, sleep, work sleep…it is easy to forget who we are as human being and what our story is - what makes us connect and relate to each other.

Because behind every social being, every public persona developed over the years in order to survive and thrive, there is an individual tale - there are emotions, people, faces, relationships and smells. All these individual stories are somehow relatable because of their universality - the universality of emotions and experiences. A smell from someone's grandmother’s cooking might remind somebody else of the smell of his own grandmother or the feel of her skin. Revisiting memories - our childhood bedroom, a moment when we felt love, an image that brings us joy - is powerful and makes us connect to each other in their universality in a very strong and powerful way.

A cohesive group, one that works well together, is happier and more efficient. These groups are made of people, each with their individual stories. But what they do not realize is that they are connected in so many ways because of those actual stories. Finding common memories bring people together.

In this workshop, the participants will connect on a deeper level and will create a common story. Knowing everyone on that deeper level will make them work better as a group and be more efficient in the workplace.
