You're a genius. I'm blown away by how quickly I got sponsorship and buy-in for my plan. Only disappointment was not getting to present my deck, cause the narrative "pre-read" was so persuasive.

10/10. So much learning from each session. They all combine and build upon one another. These are tools and skills I'll use for a lifetime. So many insights, lessons learned, and fantastic content around narrative construction and thinking.

I just used the SFB model for quick turnaround talking points for a proposed project with a big client and it flowed well and felt good!

The methods work so well, and offer transformative structures! I was reminded no matter how good you are, you don't get honest POV when you are shopping your ideas to other great minds. What's amazing about this course is how you run your ideas through the structure.

Karina Monteiro

Associate Director - Brand & Creative, CRISIL Limited

In an age where critical thinking is what sets one apart from the rest, the articulation of Narrative Intelligence as a concept is beautiful - because everything boils down to a connection. It’s amazing that Michael starts his framework with giving your audience (your peers and colleagues, your boss, your C-suite or anyone you’re pitching an idea or initiative to) something to have faith in. Particularly helpful are the examples - vividly told to raise the stakes with the emotional dilemma & evidence of success (with examples going beyond testimonials). Story 10x establishes a framework and then goes beyond, bringing alive applications of storytelling in the day to day, at the workplace - it is a time investment that is valuable, to breakthrough high stakes logjams, to get attention, to win buy-in. It’s a playbook, I’ll keep coming back to in my own leadership journey.

Lee-Sean Huang

Senior Director of Learning & Programs at AIGA

The Narrative Change course introduces an "old story, new story" framework that is simple, but not easy. Behind this simplicity hides great power and value. And while the instruction, based on decades of experience with some of the world's top tech companies, was top-notch, a lot of the value comes from the community in the form of group discussions, breakouts, and optional informal hangouts after the official class time ends. If the old story is "educational content," the new story of Narrative Change is "learning cohort."
