Stats Suck - Stories Stick Supercharge Your Stories by 60%

Smart stories aren’t life stories or modern epics. They’re not fairytales. They’re the short, targeted examples that leaders use to engage teams, drive change and influence culture.  Vince unpacks the secrets to effective modern storytelling and hauls down the age-old tropes that have been standing in the way of effective communication for leaders.

Student Story

For educators

Do you remember the teacher that truly saw you, that recognised your potential and whose presence made you want to turn up and be the best you could be? How much did they influence your life?

Students are entering our schools from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of abilities and needs. Our staff span a number of cultures and bring a variety of attitudes and perspectives to their work. Sometimes it can be hard to find the threads that unite us.

In this entertaining keynote we dig into the neuroscience of connection, examine the ways we connect and discover how story can be the secret to engaging with one another in a way that builds lasting bonds of trust. Guaranteed to bring your students into focus, this keynote is going to spark discussion and ideas that’ll challenge your thinking and practice.

Connection before Curriculum ​

Our Story

How do we connect? How do we form the bonds that draw us together and how is today’s world impacting on those bonds?

The result of intensive research, this keynote draws on neuroscience to unpack the secrets of connection and give us the tools to come together. A combination of world-class storytelling and deep insight, this is the perfect conference opener.
