Michael, you're like a high-priest rabbi! I was in awe of your mastery facilitating our senior leadership offsite. It was group therapy in the best possible way. 

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.

Story 10x is so so good. Grateful you have put this out there so more people realize the power we all have to connect better, inspire better, imagine better, organize better and live better. The power of stories! You really have done something wonderful with this book.

Michael is my ‘Ambassador to Quan’. In 15+ years, while as my trusted advisor, we've 3x-ed the company, grown to 150 employees, and transformed a 75-year old business into a real industry leader.

Michael's been my secret weapon at Meta and Shopify to successfully change hearts and minds and achieve extraordinary results. He works magic at building shared understanding, purpose, and direction. I'm in awe of his ability to distill complex objectives into coherence.

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.

Great start to the cohort. Incredible value for the money. I successfully presented my narrative to the exec team. Narrative Influence 5 week sprint got me up to speed fast with the right structures.

Discovering your book and work was like a spotlight being shone on a dark path. I found it incredibly helpful and profoundly influential. I’ll forever be appreciative for it.

It's been a productive “blast” working with you - unbelievable value coming out of it! The new narrative is taking hold with sales and our customers. 

Got great tools that I can now use and fantastic insights for operating. It was great looking forward to what’s coming

Such an engaging, meaningful session. Overwhelmingly positive feedback. Folks learned a lot and are ready to tell the OneStream story. Your direction on building compelling, authentic narratives functions like a Storytelling Waze. Your impact reaches far and wide, Michael.

Always incredible - Michael is a master of the narrative and will drive you through insights and introspective sessions to bring your narrative alive! I may have speaking events - and will keep you posted - but they come intermittently still 👍🏼

Such a rewarding program. Full of tremendous power and fun. In Narrative Influence I learned how to put new ideas out there without fear. Such an encouraging community.

Dynamic and provocative! Keep up the great work!

Useful and would be useful for my team.

Eye-opening. Inspired! Love the methods, the discussions, and the people.

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.

Storied’s dramatically impacted Facebook. You conceptualized how to present our products’ vision and goals on a massive scale.

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."
