        What I loved about the program is that Philipp prepares you for the “real deal”. No “Hero’s Journey”, but instead concrete advise on how to use stories in sales. With the help of the program, I’ve managed to make storytelling a vital part of my communication.

        One of the most useful trainings I’ve participated in my professional life. Very practical, super engaging, and a lot of fun. A few of the exercises were quite out of my comfort zone, but that’s where you learn the most.

        What a session! Very relevant to our roles, fun, and slightly uncomfortable. Philipp's mix of humour, empathy, and directness created a very great learning atmosphere. The next week, quite a few us already used some of the learnings in our client meetings. Good stuff!
