Storytelling isn’t just a soft skill - it’s one of the most powerful tools OD practitioners have to navigate complexity, build trust, and move people through change. In this episode of Unboxing OD, Kenneth Pearson explores how stories can transform the way organizations engage with change, strategy, and culture.
You’ll get a quick overview of how to simplify complex initiatives through narrative, craft compelling change stories that resonate, and use storytelling techniques to build authentic buy-in. Kenneth also shares a case study where shifting the story helped re-energize a skeptical and fatigued organization.
Whether you’re leading transformation, supporting culture work, or simply looking for a better way to connect purpose with practice, this episode offers both strategy and heart.
Plus, hear how storytelling plays a central role in Pearson & Pearson’s consulting approach and The Flow of Five Tiers - Kenneth’s upcoming book releasing May 27, 2025.
