Overview

In today’s fast-paced and complex cooperative landscape, leaders must do more than manage—they must inspire. Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools in a leader’s toolkit. It transforms data into meaning, builds trust, and motivates teams and stakeholders to act. This 3-day immersive workshop, led by Andrew Sykes of Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, equips co-op leaders with the skills to craft and deliver compelling narratives that drive change and deepen engagement.
