In today’s fast-paced business environment, effective communication is crucial for achieving strategic objectives and maintaining employee satisfaction. STORYWORX CONSULTING creates a path to increased productivity and efficiency by revolutionizing communication between and within departments. Our facilitation services are designed to improve collaboration and innovation, particularly in organizations that face common conflicts, such as those between product development and production teams. By harnessing the power of storytelling, the art of listening, and the use of wellness practices, we aim to foster a culture of connection, reduce workplace stress, and enhance overall productivity.
THE CHALLENGE
The business industry has gone from fast-paced to quantum-paced. Progress is happening at an exponential rate and your company is barely keeping up. You feel like you are constantly building the plane as you are flying it. You are adapting to new tech and new market factors faster than you can integrate them into your existing systems. As a result, the dynamics between Development and Production departments, between Sales and Marketing are constantly fraying, leading to numerous chronic issues that keep you up at night:
Miscommunication and misunderstanding between departments
Lack of cohesiveness and connection among team members
Diminished inspiration and creativity
High employee turnover rates
Increased stress and burnout
OUR SOLUTION
STORYWORX CONSULTING taps into the power of storytelling through a unique group facilitation process to bring intra- and inter-departmental communication into alignment with the core goals of your organization. Through regular experiences with our process, your co-workers, from the bottom to the top of your org charts will clearly understand your corporate objectives and will take ownership of their roles in making those objectives a reality.
Our facilitation services leverage structured, group sessions that promote storytelling as a means to enhance understanding and empathy among team members. By creating a safe space for open dialogue, we enable employees to share their experiences, frustrations, and ideas. This process not only strengthens interdepartmental relationships but also leads to improved listening, problem-solving and innovation. We also provide wellness tools that improve self-regulation and employee satisfaction.

ABOUT
Simply put, I use the power of storytelling and personal narrative to facilitate communication, leading groups and individuals to collaborative success. Nothing brings me greater joy than to guide an organization or community through gridlock or conflict into collective consensus and innovation. Working across diverse sectors—from education and tech to social justice reform—my process utilizes the power of storytelling to celebrate the variety of voices and perspectives within a group to find original and organic solutions to inter- and intra-organizational roadblocks. By teaching people to find their voice and communicate more effectively, I seek to unlock each individual’s full potential and allow them to contribute successfully to the defined goals of their organization. For nearly 20 years, I have facilitated positive team engagement to inspire creativity, align strategy, and settle conflict. STORYWORX CONSULTING curates opportunities to shift confrontation into conversation, resignation into inspiration, and stagnation into productivity.
