Maximise your Impact with an Effective Story Ecosystem


Tuesday 21 November

10am - 12noon
2 hour Online Workshop

Your Organization is an Ecosystem too

Remember studying ecosystems at school? Those pictures of ponds, buzzing with life: and the frogs, insects, plants and invisible organisms, all miraculously working together?  

Well, every organisation or community is an ecosystem too. The only difference (apart from the frogs) is that our ‘pond’ is called our  ‘culture’ and it’s the people, values, goals and relationships that keeps it alive. 

So, here’s the question… How’s your ecosystem going? Is it humming or burping? Is it vibrant and free flowing? Or, despite all the great talent, the hard work and sincere intentions of everyone, is it murky and slow?

Bring your ecosystem to life with your stories

Every successful organisation depends on a vibrant, engaged culture that makes their humans know they’re essential contributors.

One simple way to do that is to create spaces for connection and shared experiences. These small opportunities to learn and be inspired by each other will - 

  • Enhance organizational health and reputation

  • Improve performance and organisational knowledge

  • Elevate teamwork, motivation, joy and purpose.

  • Create a common language and agreed behaviours for psychosocial safety

What you will learn

In many busy organisations, regular opportunities for humans to gather can be viewed as ‘ nice to have’, not ‘need to have’. But this is seriously outdated thinking, and ignores what we now know to be the crucial requirements for the health, contentment and performance of your teams. 

Join Moya Sayer-Jones in this 2 hour, live masterclass to think together and learn

  • The danger signs that your ecosystem is struggling

  • The benefits of connecting your organisation through their stories

  • Your role as leader: mindset, priorities and intentional story strategies

  • How stories can serve your leadership

  • Simple storytelling habits to model for your team

  •  5 steps  to create safe purposeful spaces  to share, consult, connect 

    1. Finding the time and space for stories in busy organisations

    2. Making it purposeful to bring others with you

    3. Ensuring safe, welcoming and inclusive behaviours

    4. The value of small, everyday rituals and how to keep them going

    5. Lessons from other successful organisations

Leaders  are in a unique position to shape culture but it’s the collective voice, the ecosystem at work, that fulfils and enriches the big story. And keeps it moving.
