STORY w/

Mary Lee Copeland

Storytelling is a skill everyone should have.

Imagine if everyone in your organization became a skilled storyteller, with every pitch and presentation, post, and piece of copy connecting on an emotional level. With the right tools, training, and inspiration, your entire staff can enhance their storytelling skills. When everyone can create impactful, memorable stories, your company can boost engagement with clients and build stronger connections among colleagues.

Cultivating storytelling skills is invaluable!

Some testimonials from clients & participants:

  • Anna Ternberg, CEO

    "I had the opportunity to hire MaryLee for a workshop in Storytelling.
    The audience were 18 year old students at Idrottsgymnasiet Nacka.
    MaryLee is a true professional with great energy. She is amazing in the way that she involves her audience and she makes sure that everyone in the room feels seen and valued.
    My students left the workshop with a new pair of glasses and I would describe the experience as a paradigm shift.
    She also has a great sense of humour and is one of the most gifted people I’ve met when it comes to storytelling
    I truly recommend MaryLee for any future assignment."

  • Sanna Hähnel, Spotify Employee

    I recently attended "For The Record" arranged by Musikförläggarna/IFPI and Mary Lee was one of the amazing speakers/mentors. She is a very engaging and charismatic speaker with an interesting career and long experience and will definitely bring great energy and interesting anecdotes to any conversation about equality in the workplace (and the world). I'm grateful that there are people in this world like Mary Lee that use their drive to make it a better place. Highly recommend listening to her if you get the opportunity!
