Stories have power. Stories build connections. Stories create a sense of belonging.
The Art of Corporate StoryTelling lives in anyone who has the passion & hunger to learn. Stories delight, enchant, touch, teach, recall, inspire, motivate & challenge. They help us understand & empathize. Effective StoryTelling imprints a picture on our minds.
According to research, 92% of consumers want brands to make ads which feel like a story. Consequently, stories often pack more punch than sermons. It has been found that facts are approximately 22 times more likely to be remembered if they are part of a story.

At BlewMinds, we work on the ‘Inside’ to make stories powerful on the ‘Outside’ so that powerful StoryTelling becomes your second nature. We focus on the individual side of Personal Branding, the business side of Organization Branding & the market side of Social Media Branding. These 3 tenets put together become a powerful deployment ground of StoryTelling to impact, influence & inspire.
Simply put, Corporate StoryTelling is the art of communicating feelings, data, information, using experiences & narratives to express yourself effectively in the corporate world or in a professional setting. Corporate StoryTelling requires creativity, connecting the dots, imagination, being honest with oneself, self-disclosure & the deep ability to bare one’s heart completely without any fears of vulnerability.

Effective StoryTelling can feed the human mind & heart which crave emotional connection. We are not moved to action by mere data dumps, dense PowerPoint slides or Spreadsheets packed with figures. When we see or hear factual arguments, we become logical, critical & skeptical. But when we are absorbed in a good story, we drop our guards!
Paradoxically, today, Corporate StoryTelling is also about communicating our logic, data, heavy information, facts, figures with stories woven together with powerful narratives.
We help our clients master the Art of StoryTelling by integrating Logos (logic, reason, proof), Pathos (emotions, values, beliefs), & Ethos (credibility, emotions, trust). Our Global Story Coaching frameworks are designed to refine your StoryTelling skills, enhance your ability to build influential relationships, & improve stakeholder management. Through these frameworks, we provide long-term recall for developing persuasive narratives that echo across diverse audiences & drive meaningful connections.
