Jordan Bower, Elite Storytelling Coach for Visionary Leaders
Become a creative, strategic, and authentic leadership storyteller.
Storytelling is far more than words. It's about the unspoken currents of emotion and the hidden narratives that make our most powerful interactions authentically human. As a leadership storytelling coach, I don't just help you craft a compelling message — I guide you to understand and even transform the deeper story within yourself so you can use what you find to better connect with and inspire others.
UPGRADE YOUR LEADERSHIP
Leadership Storytelling is a crucial differentiator in a complex and evolving world.
Cut through the noise.
Compelling narratives are essential to creating urgency & collaboration in a world drowning in information.
Build trust amid skepticism.
Bridge the gap between corporate messaging and human experience, elevating your credibility.
Envision a brighter future.
Storytelling aligns teams, communicates vision, and inspires meaningful collective action.
Storytelling is essential to leadership—authoring a vision, framing data and ideas, and connecting intimately with audiences. Jordan can help you master this skill and apply it to your own challenges & context.
WHY STORYTELLING coaching matters
Dive into the hidden emotional architecture of leadership.
In a world of surface-level communications, true leadership requires something more personal and profound. In order to to engage, inspire, and guide our audiences to change, we need to go beneath the surface and connect with our audiences at an emotional level.
I work intimately with each coaching client, helping you explore the inner landscape that shapes your authentic voice, and guiding you to take these powerful insights and put them into practical action.
WHO STORYTELLING COACHING IS FOR
I work with creative leaders who recognize the urgency of trusted, authentic connection.
As a coach, my goal is to help you develop the relational skills that good storytelling requires. I work with corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who are ready to go into the deeper currents of human connection to make a difference.

Perhaps more unique, Jordan knows when to push me and when to let me find my own way. These gifts, over time, have created a very special kind of trust. ”

Build confidence that comes from deep self-understanding
My clients don't just improve their communication; they develop a more profound understanding of themselves and their capacity to inspire others — revealing hidden strengths, creating more meaningful professional connections, communicating with unprecedented authenticity, and transforming their approach to leadership.

Develop overarching strategic narratives for their team, leadership vision or thought leadership
Deliver heartfelt speeches, presentations and pitches
Conceptualize books, articles, movies, TED Talks…
Address emotional dynamics like creativity, editing and understanding your audience

Though every coaching session — and every relationship with a coaching client — is different, many of my clients remark on my distinctive coaching style. I see my role as ever-shifting — in one 60 min session, I can rapidly transition between facilitator, strategist, therapist and creative catalyst. Personally, I see a deep purpose and meaning in my relationships with every client, and I structure my work to try and honor that commitment — even with strangers. With that in mind, I relish the most exciting part of my role: provoking your disruption and guiding you as you develop the skills to navigate beyond it.
