The Story-Driven Leadership Intensive

A one-day leadership workshop built on emotional intelligence, courageous clarity, and the stories that shape how we lead

Lead with story. Lead with strategy. Lead like a human.

The Story-Driven Leadership Intensive is a one-day, experiential workshop designed for people who lead in the real world—and are ready to lead with more clarity, presence, and emotional intelligence.

Whether you're a teacher, team lead, administrator, or mid-career manager, this workshop will help you understand the story you're currently leading from—and build a better one.

🎯 Designed for school districts, universities, nonprofits, and people-first businesses.

Why Story?

Leadership isn’t just what you do.
It’s the story people feel when you walk into a room—about what matters, who matters, and how trust is built.

In this workshop, we’ll look beneath the surface of your leadership story—and reshape it into something stronger, clearer, and more true.

Workshop Outcomes

By the end of the day, participants will:

  • Identify the story they’re currently leading from—and what’s missing from it

  • Understand the fundamentals of emotional intelligence in leadership

  • Practice using story to build clarity, connection, and trust

  • Learn how to navigate high-stakes moments without defaulting to control or avoidance

  • Leave with a story they want to lead from—and the tools to back it up

A Note From Me to You

Andrew Roblyer's headshot; he's smiling and wearing a blue shirt and blue feather earrings.

I’ve always led with story. And I’ve always believed emotional intelligence wasn’t a soft skill—it was a strategic one.

But for a long time, I didn’t trust that was enough.

The “shoulds” were loud:
Be more decisive. Be more detached. Be more professional.
Don’t take things so personally. Don’t be too soft. Don’t be too much.

So even though I knew kindness and clarity could drive trust, motivation, and performance—I didn’t always lead from that place.

What changed everything was learning how to bring emotional intelligence into high-performance spaces—without sacrificing outcomes and without losing myself. And when I did? My teams didn’t just meet goals. They flourished.

That’s what this workshop is about.

It’s the kind of space I wish I’d had earlier in my leadership journey: a space to get honest about what’s driving us, to reconnect with what matters, and to practice leadership that feels deeply human and highly effective.

If your team or community is ready for something more grounded, more intentional, and more true—
I’d be honored to hold that space.

Let’s build the kind of leadership story people want to follow.
