We helped Mahindra and Mahindra show their social responsibility
I participated in Sally Fox’s one-day workshop on “Business Storytelling” in Mumbai. It was an outstanding experience, and Sally kept all of us totally engaged and involved right through the day. She has an amazing ability to connect with people at a very high intellectual, emotional and spiritual level and yet keep things simple and implementable.
I have attended many workshops but surely this one must rank among the best. It was especially rewarding for us to experience a Maestro at work since we regard Storytelling as a very important component of the Mahindra Leader’s repertoire of competencies.

Create your compelling signature story
Thank you so much for the class for Creating Your Compelling Signature Story! I attended in order to gain tips on promoting myself with greater clarity and walked away feeling activated and connected to my fellow human beings. It was a much-needed breath of fresh air- in these complicated times of divisiveness, chaos, and conflict. We all have a story and they are all compelling!

Sally helped me prepare a talk I was giving for a fundraising event for a program I started for LGBTQ youth. It was key for me to pack a punch, bring in the personal, and tug at people’s hearts with sincere and raw stories of the youth with whom I work. She was compassionately ruthless in cutting out excess, distilling the heart of the message and urging me to convey my passion for the work. My five minutes took the listeners through a journey of personal stories and cultural context that painted a whole picture of the work I do. People gave way beyond what I had imagined, touched by the humanity of the work this program does.

Sally is insightful, compassionate, and skilled at seeing the connections in a system. I have attended two of Sally’s workshops and gained a great deal of value from both.
Her workshop on storytelling was amazing. She reflected my statements and ideas back to me in a way that I could see them differently, pulled the tangled strings of my story together to help me make sense of them, and regularly made sure to check to see if what she was suggesting actually hit the mark. She helped me to pull the strengths and gifts out of my story and to see the toolkit I have unknowingly been carrying around with me all this time.
Sally helped me to reframe a difficult situation to see how the challenges I faced were a fractal of the larger organization. Armed with my new insights and perspective, I was able to return to work reinvigorated and ready to try new strategies and tactics for moving forward.
If you ever get a chance to take one of Sally’s workshops, I definitely recommend you do so.
