Vishal facilitating a story session at a whiteboard

Vishal Jodhani

Story is the shortest distance between two people.

I help leaders and teams find the story that moves people. Through facilitation, storytelling and coaching.

Boardroom tested. Deeply human.

A familiar feeling

The strategy is perfect. The room is silent.

Leaders have more answers than ever. What's missing is a story people believe in, and a room where they find it together.

Three ways in

Where can we begin?

Facilitation01

The story we share.

Your top team isn't aligned. Your change is stalling. Your summit feels like a conference.

Offsites, retreats, leadership summits and high-stakes sessions. For 10 people or 1,000. Designed with the arc of a story, and held so you can relax and trust the day.

Plan a session
Storytelling02

The story you tell.

Your idea is right. It just isn't landing.

Storytelling workshops for leaders and teams, a public masterclass, keynotes, and story nights where your own people take the stage.

Book a workshop or talk
Coaching03

The story you live.

You're between chapters.

One-to-one coaching and small cohort programs for leaders in transition. Built on the hero's journey: who you are, what's in your way, and what's next.

Start a conversation

How I work

Every session has an arc.

  1. 01

    An opening.

  2. 02

    A tension.

  3. 03

    A choice.

  4. 04

    A new future.

The same arc that makes a great story makes a meeting that changes things.

Between two worlds

Boardrooms and campfires.

I've spent two decades bringing people together. In partner meetings at Bain, at global leadership conferences, and around campfires at festivals. I grew up in India, have lived and worked across four continents, and now call Berlin home. The rooms change. The work doesn't. Help people truly see each other, and things move.
