The Storyteller's Secret

How Narrative Intelligence can Transform Your Organization

WANT TO ELEVATE EFFICIENCY, increase buy-in from stakeholders, and decrease frustration upstream and down? Build a team of master storytellers. Blockbuster films, timeless literature, memorable journalism, and the funniest jokes— they’re all powered by the same fuel: masterful stories. That same narrative power is central to the most dynamic teams and the most innovative companies, all of whom have uncovered a single secret: all effective communication is simply good storytelling. Revealing we are all storytellers at heart, Jason helps to build the capacity to understand how stories work, how they’re built, and why they stick. 

Transforming an organization’s communications practices, graduating them from clumsy to focused, from random to intentional, from scattered to purposeful, Jason explores the power of narrative design. In this fast-paced, inventive keynote, you’ll be handed tools used by the greatest storytellers of our time, and you’ll build muscle as they have, learning how to aggregate, curate, and amplify your message.


Our Speaker/Facilitator:  


Jason Allen Ashlock
Founding Partner of Frontier Press

In the early months of the global recession, when the publishing industry was anxious and contracting, Jason launched a literary firm from a standing start. In a few years, it had become a known industry force. He packaged books for Hall of Fame athletes and Oscar-winning acors, for Pulitzer nominees and Grammy winners, for indie film stars and fledgling novelists. In the process, he honed his skills in narrative design and product development, and then pivoted to a new mission: break the book out of its ghetto. Frontier Press is how he's chipping away at the wall.
