Doug Stevenson Biography

Logic explains. Stories persuade. If you need to be more persuasive and influential, you need to master the art of storytelling in business. If you need to close more sales, you need to tell a better story. If you need to raise more funds or influence people to embrace change, you must become a better storyteller.

My keynotes, such as "Aikido Selling" and "Lead, Engage and Persuade with a Story," and workshops are entertaining, instructive, and interactive. I often customize a handout for my audience members so they can take notes. For over 20 years, I've been teaching the science of the art of storytelling for business communication. I wrote my book, "Doug Stevenson's Story Theater Method: Strategic Storytelling in Business," in 2003.

Story is the universal language. It communicates across all barriers of race, religion, ethnicity, generations, and physical boundaries. I’ve taught my Story Theater Method in 18 countries from Boston to Bogota, Chicago to Copenhagen, and from Tucson to Tokyo. Story works. Story connects. As a child of the sixties, I can even say, Story Rocks!

Many of my clients are too dependent on facts and data. They put their audience into a content coma. They hire me because they need to make an emotional connection while still communicating technical information. Is it possible to tell a story and have your data too? I can show you how. My approach includes a nine-step formula for crafting compelling stories and emphasizes the importance of branding messages with a "Phrase That Pays."

A small sampling of my clients includes: Google, Verizon, Coca-Cola, NBC, Deloitte, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Pfizer, ConAgra Foods, Caterpillar, Microsoft, SAP, Wells Fargo, US Bank, USAA, Aetna, Lockheed Martin, The American Education Assn, The National Association of Realtors, The American Medical Association, Rockwell Collins, Junior Achievement, Amgen, AAA, Oracle University, Red Bull, Deco Proteste, Asurion, Medstar Hospitals, and hundreds of associations and non-profits.

I am also a two-time TEDx speaker and TED talk speakers’ coach. I’ve coached hundreds of people on their speeches and stories, and have taught thousands more my storytelling methodology. Let’s get on the phone and talk about what we can do together.

Aikido Selling – Sell It with a Story

Facts fade • data gets dumped – but stories persuade. This is a keynote or workshop that illustrates how to use strategically chosen and crafted stories in a sales conversation or presentation. If your salespeople are guilty of showing up and throwing because they default to facts and data without making an emotional connection, Aikido Selling is the answer. Aikido is a martial art defined as “the way of blending energy.” Never again will your people overcome objections with facts and data alone. There is a better way, the Aikido Selling way.
