The 2-Minute Story That Gets You the Room, the Role, and the Buy-In
Build and practice one Impact Story you can deliver to a board, a hiring committee, or a CFO — the following week.
You do work two levels above how you describe it. You know it. Your team knows it.
But the room you're presenting to doesn't — because the minute you open your mouth, you default to the technical detail, the jargon, the bits and bytes. You describe what happened to the company instead of what you did.
And the room walks away without seeing the magnitude of what you actually delivered.
You don't have a communication problem. You have a translation problem.
When you're inside the jar, you can't read the label. You've been so deep in the work for so long that you can't see it the way a decision-maker needs to see it.
This isn't fixed by talking more. It's not fixed by a better slide deck. It's fixed by learning to translate what you've built into one clear story that any decision-maker can follow in under two minutes — without overselling, without jargon, and without erasing yourself from the narrative.
This live, in-person session shows you how.
Technology leaders whose capability has outpaced their positioning.
You're operating at VP or C-level scope, but the way you describe your work doesn't match the magnitude of what you've actually built. The right rooms, roles, and resources keep going to people who are less accomplished but better narrated.
If your team does work the organization doesn't fully see — and you know the problem starts with how that work is described — this evening is for you.
A finished Impact Story you can use the following week.
You will build your story live. You will practice it out loud. You will hear real-time feedback from the room — the same way a board or executive team would react.
Not a template. Not a framework to figure out later. A story that's done.
A repeatable structure that works for any audience — a CFO, a CTO, a board — without starting from scratch each time. And the delivery presence to own the room when you tell it.
