Storytelling Frameworks for High Impact Teams

Erin Miller, SmithGroup

Great stories (and storytellers) inspire action, build trust and create lasting impact. In this interactive breakout session, participants will explore how to craft and deliver powerful stories that resonate in any setting — whether delivering an interview pitch, or networking more comfortably. Leveraging the S.T.A.R. Framework (Situation, Task, Action, Result), you will learn how to identify and shape stories that celebrate your strengths and connect authentically with your audience.


Through small group collaborative exercises, and real-time feedback, this session will help you:

  • Harness courage and creativity to share stories that matter.
  • Practice active listening to uncover meaningful narratives.
  • Give and receive supportive feedback to refine your storytelling skills.


By the end of the workshop, you will leave with practical tools and your own S.T.A.R story, to amplify your impact and strengthen team engagement.
