THIS ISN’T JUST STORYTELLING…

It’s how we teach, train & transform.

At TALKS TOO MUCH, story is the engine — not the decoration.

Every flagship service we offer is powered by the belief that people don’t change from pressure or policy. They change from the inside out — through story.

Whether we’re building safer workplaces, coaching future leaders or helping people write the truth they’ve never said out loud, we use storytelling to unlock the human behind the role.


3 Reasons Storytelling Drives Real Change

1. It reaches people where policy can’t.

Before you teach behavior, you need belief. Stories bypass defensiveness and get straight to emotion.

2. It makes learning personal — and memorable.

People forget slides. They don’t forget a moment that moved them. Story creates that moment.

3. It helps people find their voice — not just hear yours.

A good framework gives direction. A good story gives people the courage to speak.


“We’ve brought in trainers before. What Terrence does is different — people actually wanted to talk, share & be vulnerable. Storytelling cracked something open in our staff that no other training has before.”
