An Essential Talent Development Approach for Enlightened Leaders

“In an era where strategic storytelling is misunderstood, Authorize It! is an accessible playbook for all.”

—Natalie Nixon, author, The Creativity Leap: Unleash Curiosity, Improvisation, and Intuition at Work


When every company and every business conversation is dramatically changing, success requires new thinking, fresh approaches, and storytelling muscle. Enter Deborah Burns. 


A strategic chief innovation officer—and author—she combines both expertise areas in a change platform accelerating employee growth and corporate results. 


From “power hour” training to intensive workshops, business storytelling to personal narratives, keynotes to executive coaching, Burns has the unique perspective that will deliver new solutions and improve your bottom line.


“A remarkable, substantive, illuminating approach that uncomplicates personal narratives and business storytelling.”

—James Hall, Dean, University Studies Division, RIT


HOW IT WORKS

The Deliverable

  

Participants gain fresh insight about how thinking like a writer unleashes the power to take control of their work stories and access their potential.


o Workshops shift mindset and build the storytelling muscle to create, pitch, and promote winning ideas and approaches.


o The five Authorize It! lessons and actionable story-shaping tools help attendees overcome obstacles, deepen creative solutions, and become more entrepreneurial to amplify results.



The Format

  

ZOOM call structured as a “one-to-many” presentation led by Burns, with built-in Q&A, Prompts, takeaways, and interactive components.


o Screenshare takes participants through high-level TEDx-like slides. 


o Modules for personal stories as well as for business storytelling, or both.


o Can include pre-surveys and new solution ideation for current business challenges.


o Ideal format: 90-minute or two-hour single session workshops, with multiple sessions or shorter “power hours" possible—as are in-person workshops when appropriate.
