Storytelling

Stories that work – in presentations, pitches, leadership and science communication.

Book an intro call

Numbers inform, stories stick. If you tell a presentation, a pitch or a change as a story, you give your audience something to hold on to: a starting point, a conflict, a solution and the people it is about.

For me, storytelling is not an add-on but a core rhetorical tool. I use stories in my own training because participants recognise faster what matters. And I write myself: my dark fantasy novel “Eisiger Zorn”, volume 1 of the series “Aygens Kriege”, was published in 2026 (in German). More at aygens-kriege.de.

Typical situations

  • Your presentation is correct, but it moves no one.
  • Complex content should become understandable and engaging.
  • The opening decides whether your audience stays with you.
  • A pitch has to convince within a few minutes.
  • As a leader you want to explain change, not just announce it.
  • Findings from research and expertise should reach a broad audience.

Topics

What we work on

  • A strong opening

    The first seconds decide: openings that spark curiosity and bring the audience on board.

  • Dramaturgy

    Starting point, conflict, turning point, solution: build presentations and speeches as a narrative arc.

  • Images & examples

    Make the abstract tangible with comparisons, examples and cases that stay in the mind.

  • Pitch & positioning

    Tell your own story, an idea or a project briefly, clearly and convincingly.

  • Storytelling in leadership

    Convey change, goals and values as a story that provides orientation.

  • Telling science

    Make research understandable without distorting it: for lay audiences, media and children.

Experience & background

I studied not only rhetoric but also international literatures. Alongside my studies I ran a publishing house and worked as an author and video producer. Today I combine the craft of storytelling with rhetoric: in training, in science communication and in my own books.

More about me

A participant’s view

“The workshop made me realise for the first time that the opening of a Children’s University lecture matters far more than in a regular lecture. […] a very great help.”
