As professionals, we all need communication to build connections, share knowledge, and collaborate in one way or another. In public communication it’s getting harder every day to cut through the noise to make an impact. That's why more and more professionals are turning to storytelling, because it's the most effective approach to impactful, connecting communication.

However, there are many concepts on the market, old and new. Which approach or technique is right for whom, in which industry, in which situation?

The Storytelling Symposium aims to provide a discourse with experienced storytelling professionals from different fields and the possibility for you to ask questions, engage, learn and create connections.

For: Professionals in management, research and organizational development, human resources, training, coaching, consulting, therapy and the arts.

Event Languages: English and German

Organizer: Dr. Anja Timmermann, Narrative Coach and Storytelling Trainer

Cooperation Partners: Dr. Franz Hütter (Brain-HR), Katrien Stevens (Karavandesign), Elma Esrig und Martin Heppner (wissen macht wirkung)

Here’s your Chance to grow as a storyteller

The Storytelling Symposium Story Stage

Learning Experience Stories | Our Special Event on Nov 13th

We are all leaders — at least of ourselves. Leadership is a journey made of learning experiences, one after another. Reflecting on these moments helps each of us grow a little faster and stronger into the (self‑)leaders we want to be.

So let’s share our learning experiences and listen to others — real stories, told live.

The Experience

Opening Panel with Guests (4-5 pm)

We’ll begin with story examples from our team and from our guests. So we all get into the rhythm of live storytelling. We’ll explain the Story Stage rules and answer your questions.

Open Story Stage (4-7 pm)

Participate as an active listener: Delight us with your presence and help empower and celebrate the storytellers.

Tell your story — if you feel like it.

The theme is A Learning Experience.
You have five minutes — no notes needed, just your story.

To sign up, email Anja here.
