Elevating Leadership Through the Power of Story

In today’s complex business landscape, leaders aren’t remembered for their spreadsheets or slide decks – they’re remembered for the stories they tell. Storytelling is no longer a “soft skill.” It is a critical leadership capability that inspires teams, aligns culture, builds trust, and turns vision into action.

The Brand Storytelling for Strategic Impact Program at Rollins’ Management & Executive Education Center equips executives and senior leaders with the tools to craft, test, and deliver narratives that resonate. Blending proven storytelling frameworks with cutting-edge AI tools for visual and narrative design, this program guides leaders on a path to shape stories that influence decisions, accelerate change, and inspire growth.
