Human Stories in an AI World

AI now writes our emails, drafts, and decks. The more it writes, the more everything sounds the same. The leaders who stand out won't sound like AI. They will sound human.

  • Why human stories are your team's real edge in an AI-driven workplace
  • A simple way to use AI for the draft and stories for the connection
  • How to spot story-worthy moments that people remember

Best for: conference keynotes, leadership summits, and companies rolling out AI tools

“Philipp's workshop was incredibly interactive and eye-opening.”

— Sarah Loosveldt, Director Retail Operations, Samsonite

Stories That Stick

Most people think they don't have good stories. They believe you need a "big adventure" to grab attention. Wrong. In Philipp's study of 1,000 people, the best stories weren't big. They were small, everyday moments told well.

  • The 3 techniques that make any story captivating
  • How to spot everyday moments worth sharing
  • A simple routine to make your stories stick in people's heads

Best for: sales kickoffs, all-hands, and teams that present to clients

“The team left excited to use their new skills and began incorporating into their interactions at work immediately.”

— Carrie Roso, Director of Marketing, FMT Solutions

Stories That Build Trust

Most meetings start the same way. "How's the weather?" "How was your weekend?" Boring. Forgettable. The moment is gone. There is a better way to open, and it takes less than a minute.

  • A simple 3-step flow for quick personal stories
  • Two easy prompts to spark real moments in any meeting
  • A habit that makes sharing stories natural for your whole team

Best for: team offsites, new leadership teams, and remote-first companies

“Philipp's fresh, light, and caring energy was truly inspiring.”

About Philipp

If we haven't met yet, hi. I'm Philipp.

Earlier in my career, I worked as a consultant at Bain & Company.

I'd spend weeks on the analysis. Build the right recommendation. Walk into the room and present it clearly, slide by slide, logic that held up.

And then, nothing happened. The advice sat in a deck. People nodded, said it made sense, and went back to what they were doing before.

At first I thought the analysis was wrong. So I got better at the analysis. Same result.

It took me years to see the real problem. People don't act on information. They act on what they remember. I could hand someone the right answer, and it would be forgotten by the next meeting.

I later earned an MBA from Columbia Business School and worked as a product manager at Uber. Different rooms, same pattern. The clearest thinkers weren't always the ones whose ideas stuck. The best storytellers were.

So I got obsessed with storytelling, not as a soft skill, but as the actual mechanism that turns a good idea into a decision. I studied it, taught it, tested it with leaders in real rooms.

Today, I teach leaders to do exactly that: turn their ideas into stories that get remembered and acted on.
