How to Explain a Change (with a story)

Have you ever been told to explain a change to your team, and you didn't know where to start?

Or when you did explain a change, your people didn't get it and resisted?

Hi, I'm Shawn Callahan, the founder of Anecdote International, the world's largest business storytelling enterprise. In this course, I will help you learn how to turn all that around. So instead, 

  • Imagine your team hearing about a change that's happening and asking you how they can be part of it.
  • Imagine overhearing a team member retelling your change story to a colleague.
  • Imagine seeing your team do things that were part of a future you had painted.
  • Imagine the time you'll save because everyone gets it.

In this short course, I will teach you a simple story pattern that will engage and even inspire your audience. They will understand WHY the change is happening. 

And to help you get comfortable crafting and telling your change story, you will get 30 minutes of one-on-one coaching and access to our online community, where you can ask questions and try things out.

Participants love this course because it only takes 30-45 minutes, and you end up with a change story you can tell right away. It gets the job done.

I look forward to working with you and helping you communicate change in a human way that gets results.
