About my guest

Jean Storlie designs and facilitates processes to help business team collaborate in solving business problems, such as strategic, innovation, technical, health and communication challenges. Over her 35-year career, she’s created health strategies for food, wellness, and healthcare companies—including 13 years at General Mills. Early in her career, Jean stumbled on storytelling as a way to inspire lifestyle change in her patients/clients. Later, as a corporate leader, she wove stories into coaching/mentoring her teams and communicating with executives. In 2012, Jean founded Storlietelling LLC to help business leaders drive innovation by connecting the scientific and emotional sides of health. This turning point sparked a journey into storytelling that transformed her consulting work and took her passion for stories to a new level. Jean infuses storytelling into her consulting work and also offers “Storlietelling Workshops” that teach professionals how to create meaningful stories for their business communications and leadership.
