Challenge
Help leaders and teams improve communication, define strategic narratives, and manage change through more compelling storytelling
SOLUTION
Designed and facilitated interactive events that combine expert talks with immersive “writers’ room” exercises
APPROACH
Brought together leaders from defense, business, and entertainment—including former heads of the US Navy, USMC, SOCOM, Fortune 500 executives, bestselling authors, and creators of Game of Thrones and Call of Duty—to provide real-world insights and creative coaching
IMPACT
Participants gained hands-on experience in crafting and applying high-impact stories to their own missions, improving communication and alignment across organizations
The events feature lessons from renowned defense, business, and creative experts, along with interactive “writers’ room” exercises that allow hands-on professional-level creative experiences. The goal is both to build professional skills as well as identify the key “stories” an organization needs to communicate well and new ways to reach its most important audiences. The speakers have ranged from the former heads of the US Navy, USMC, and Special Operations Command to Fortune 500 executives to best-selling authors to the writers of the Game of Thrones series and the director of the Call of Duty games.
