Why Storytelling is Essential for Tech Leaders

Do you find your voice overlooked in the boardroom, or do your presentations lack spark? Is motivating your team a constant struggle? 

If you can’t show the value of your ideas, it’s almost impossible to make an impact. Projects stall, customers don’t buy and your boss doesn’t give you the credit you deserve. 

I’ll help you convey complex ideas with simplicity and motivate others. 

By enhancing your storytelling, you can deliver powerful pitches, speak on conference stages and develop as a leader.

Frequently asked questions

My coaching sessions have three main parts:

  • Part 1: Reflection We kick off by looking back at your recent experiences. What’s worked well since our last chat? What hasn’t? This reflection helps us see what to keep doing and what to tweak.
  • Part 2: Learning If there’s a specific technique or strategy that’ll help you, this is where I’ll share it. It’s all about giving you the right tools to overcome your challenges.
  • Part 3: Application We wrap up by planning how you’ll put what we’ve covered into action. It’s your roadmap for the time until our next session.

Our time together is all about you and your needs. Sometimes we’ll focus on setting goals, or dive deep into a new framework. It all depends upon what brings the most value to you.

The support doesn’t end when the session does. I provide ongoing guidance via email and Whatsapp. This means you’ve always got someone to turn to for a quick bit of feedback or when you need an idea.

As you move up in your career, speaking skills become crucial. Here’s why:

  • Scale Your Message: The higher you climb, the more people you must reach. Clear communication lets you spread your vision without diluting the message.
  • Drive Action: You’ll need to get folks with different needs to act. Strong presentations align these diverse interests toward common goals.
  • Tailored Talks: Executives often address varied audiences. I’ll coach you to adapt your style, whether you’re inspiring a team or convincing stakeholders.

Presentation skills aren’t just nice to have; they’re a must for leaders. They amplify your voice and multiply your influence. That’s how you lead effectively and get things done.

The tech world is full of complex, innovative ideas that are hard to explain. Teams are diverse, and not everyone speaks the same ‘tech language.’ But the bigger challenge? Getting the general public excited about innovations.

Think about electricity. Michael Faraday did his first demonstrations in the 1830s. But it wasn’t until the 20th century that it became widespread. The internet was the same. It’s actually been around since the 1960s, long before it became the cornerstone of daily life.

Tech leaders need to do more than just innovate. They have to tell a story that everyone can understand. That’s where strong presentation skills come in. They bridge the gap between inception and acceptance, between the lab and the living room. That’s how a new idea really starts to catch on.

As a leader, your words can guide and grow your team’s success. Here’s how:

Sharing a Vision: When you paint a clear picture of the goal, it’s like setting a bright North Star for your team. They can see where they’re heading and why their work matters. This helps everyone pull in the same direction and stay excited about the journey.

Leading Through Change: Tough times call for strong leaders. Good communication is like a steady hand steering a ship through a storm. It helps your team trust where you’re taking them, even when the waters get choppy.

Giving Useful Feedback: When you talk about what’s going well and what could be better, your team can grow. They’ll take your words and use them to do even better work.

Empowering Decisions: Being clear about what needs to happen, empowers your team to make smart choices on their own. They’ll know what you want to achieve, so they can make decisions that help everyone win.

 It starts with strategy. We’ll decide which investors are right for you and what they’re looking for. This helps us create a story they’ll want to be part of.

Then we get to work on your story. You’ll learn how to tell people why your idea is special and why it’s a good time for them to invest.

Then, we build your pitch deck. We’ll work with a designer to make sure it grabs investors’ attention and makes them want to listen. This gets you more meetings with the right people.

When you’re ready to meet investors, it’s time to practise. We’ll also meet regularly throughout the period you’re meeting with investors. By reflecting on what works and what doesn’t, we’ll be able to refine your pitch. This way, when you talk to the really important investors, you’ll be at your best.

Success in a conference or keynote means different things to different people. 

This is why my coaching starts with setting clear goals. What do you want to happen after you talk? More customers? More people knowing about your work? Together, we’ll figure out your goals for the conference.

Then we’ll craft your message. It’s all about having a clear, exciting talk that fits what you want to achieve. I’ll help you pick stories that your audience will love and remember.

Next, we’ll make sure you feel confident up there. We’ll work on what you do with your hands, how you stand, and how you can use your voice to keep everyone listening.
Coaching helps because it’s like having a guide. I’ll be with you at each step to make sure your talk does what you want it to. And when you step onto that stage, you’ll know you’re ready to make an impact.

Yes, I can. I’m based in Berlin but can travel for special projects. We can make your team’s communication top-notch, anywhere you are.

The fees for a public speaking coach vary, based on the project scope and the level of support you need.

For leadership communication, prices start at €2000. This gives us enough time to create a real, measurable change in your communication.

Pitch and keynote development starts at €4000. This will depend upon how much support you need and whether we need to bring in other professionals like pitch deck designers, vocal coaches, or tech support.

All fees can be managed directly with your company’s finance department, and they’re tax-deductible. Prices listed don’t include VAT, which is 19% in Germany, but your company can reclaim it.

Investing in coaching means investing in your ability to lead and influence. I’ll ensure we find a plan that fits your needs and budget.
