Overview
Storytelling in an organisational context is an incredible tool that creates clarity and emotional resonance. This skill is often overlooked as a critical communication tool in initiating and leading change and is needed now more than ever. Stories speak to our sense of logic as well as our emotions and engage the audience to visualise the key messages that leaders must now deliver.
Three years ago, Jeff Bezos – Amazon Founder and CEO - threw out the “data dump” method of reporting from his executive team at Amazon and required storytelling for all executive briefings. As recently as July, he used this methodology to explain the digital landscape to non-digital natives in a US Congressional hearing.
Today’s organisations are swimming in a sea of data with a need to make the data relevant, humanistic and actionable. Human brains are primed for story models to create understanding and mental maps.
This program enables participants to understand the power of stories, how to “mix” recipes and archetypes to create impactful organisational stories that enable change insight and answer the important question of “why”.

About the facilitator
Suzy Roche knows what it’s like to lead through uncertainty. She has spent more than 20 years doing exactly that across complex, global organisations including AT&T, Verizon and Vodafone. The real-world challenge of leading teams, driving change and delivering results informs everything she designs and delivers.
Throughout her career, Suzy has dedicated herself to researching contemporary leadership trends and blending insights from multiple learning disciplines. While her expertise spans a wide range of methodologies, leadership sits at the core of her work, with critical disciplines such as team effectiveness, change, strategy and psychological safety cascading from that foundation. This multidisciplinary depth is what allows her to design learning that is both rigorous and highly practical.
As Essemy’s Head of Delivery and Quality, Suzy is also the organisation’s lead Instructional Designer and a highly regarded facilitator of leadership programs and workshops. She works with public sector and commercial organisations to create development experiences that genuinely stick. Her clients include the Department of Health, the Public Sector Commission, Development WA, Combined Metal Industries, Racing and Wagering WA and Tourism WA just to name a few. What unites them is a shared commitment to development grounded in evidence, not fads.
What makes Suzy unique is her ability to translate contemporary research into tools leaders can actually use. She makes concepts such as psychological safety, adaptive leadership and strategic thinking accessible and actionable in the realities of today’s workplace. Her sessions are engaging, thought-provoking and designed to challenge how people think, not just what they know.
A Professionally Certified Coach, Suzy holds accreditations in MBTI, EQi 2.0, Belbin, Team Alignment Survey, Change Style Indicator and HBDI. She is currently completing a Master of Science in Instructional Design and Technology, reinforcing her belief in and commitment to lifelong learning.
