HOW TO PICK A STORYTELLING CONSULTANT
Image

NO. 1

ARE THEY A MASTER STORYTELLER?You want to learn from a master storyteller. Consultants can be messy, mediocre or masterful. Get them to share a story and judge for yourself. Always learn from the best.

NO. 2

HOW LONG HAVE THEY OFFERED STORYTELLING?Lots of people are jumping on the storytelling bandwagon so you need specific years and not ambiguous answers like ‘I have always been a storyteller”.

NO. 3

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MEASURABLE RESULTS?Have they shifted engagement scores, doubled revenue or impacted bottom line and can they share these with you?

NO. 4

HOW DO THEY ACTUALLY TEACH STORYTELLING?It’s always a grave mistake to bring someone in who can talk about storytelling as being powerful and memorable (which it is) and then not give your leaders any practical skills they can use to construct and share stories around a business purpose.
NO. 5
IS THERE AN EXAMPLE OF A STORY THEIR CLIENTS USED FOR BUSINESS?This one is gold! As it shows the results clients have had and that the skill was actually transferred and used for results.
NO. 6
DO THEY HAVE A BEST SELLING BOOK ON STORYTELLING?I just threw this one in, because I do! But if you are undecided, this can be a clincher …

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

We recently used Yamini for our premier client event, where she toured Australia’s capital cities presenting to hundreds of our clients. Yamini has a compelling story to tell and one that resonated extremely well with our business clients. Yamini’s style is highly engaging and in many ways enchanting, as she shares the secret power of storytelling through practical examples. I would highly recommend Yamini to anyone thinking about how to create greater engagement with their clients or employees.
Don Sillar, Head of Sales, ANZ Private
Yamini took our team through a high energy set that had everyone fully engaged from start to finish. Through practical examples and workshopping, we experienced the power of business storytelling, with a combination of both tears and belly laughs as staff shared their stories across the team. An incredible learning experience and one we would highly recommend for capability development and commercial impact.
Bridie Swatton Née Cowell, Innovation Director at Bega Cheese Limited.
One of the greatest enduring skills of leaders is their ability to convey messages and learnings through Storytelling. It has been with us for centuries and will remain for many centuries to come. Yamini is to storytelling as apple is to pie. They go together in a natural way. The ability to convey messages through stories, with humour and feeling makes them memorable. Yamini makes us all better story- tellers and therefore leaders.
Peter Baines OAM, Founder, Hands Across Water
We brought in Yamini Naidu into AHI because we thought we could build storytelling skill... although for many of us, to be truthful, we didn’t quite believe we had the ability. In less than 2.5 hours, Yamini convinced us otherwise. She helped us take a nar rative of nearly nothingness and help us make it extraordinary. She showed us the beauty of a good story and the science that drives it. It is a skill that will now sit with all of our participants forever... it will help us in our work, it will help us commu- nicate with our colleagues...and it will help me get my teenage children to clean their room. With great thanks, Yamini.
Mark Henderson, Chief Executive Officer, AHI (Australasian Housing Institute)
I have been privileged to have a long association with Yamini. She brings a positive spirit and infectious energy to her work and always leaves behind a lasting impression. More than 10 years on, people from my old team still comment on Yamini’s engaging educational sessions, with great content and challenging fun exercises that have made a real difference to their ability to connect with people in their lives.
John Burgin, Chairman ICT Committee, ANZ India Business Chamber
Yamini presented an engaging and impactful storytelling masterclass to hundreds of members of our Business Chicks community. She delivered her unique presentation with passion, commitment and beautiful storytelling. The feedback from the audience was overwhelmingly positive — she truly captured people’s hearts and minds.
