If you're looking for a different sort of approach to professional development, or for a new method of problem-solving, Kiran has a workshop for you. His method focuses on applied storytelling, a deep and intense practice of using storytelling principles to tackle some of today's toughest issues.
His workshops focus on the power of storytelling and how you can harness that power to dream bigger, act bolder, and make positive change in the world. Don't expect to be a passive listener. You'll be an active participant as he walks you and your team through various exercises and introduces best practices for integrating story and storytelling methodology into your work. Likewise, expect more than just a simple workshop. Kiran is helping lead a storytelling movement, a revolution that began in 1973 with the inception of the International Storytelling Center and continues in strength today. The trainings he offers are rooted in using storytelling in profound ways to achieve big goals. Storytelling has the power to help mitigate climate change, break down social and political barriers, and even bring about world peace. Changing the world is a very real aspiration, and we welcome working with others who believe the same. Contact his team today to get started. Whether you need a training session for a few hours or a few days, a workshop for a dozen people or several hundred; whether you're starting from scratch or moving to the next level, Kiran will work with you to develop a truly personalized and unique experience. While live, in-person events are still much preferred, the ongoing pandemic often makes live gatherings difficult. As such, Kiran's workshops can be delivered either in-person or virtually via a video-conference platform. |
With his background in the arts as well as an ability to teach effectively, Kiran gives individuals and communities new ways to approach collaborative efforts aimed at conflict resolution on any level.” |
