Corporate Workshops, Storytelling and Video

I can provide your team with a thoughtful workshop, a creative cultural experience, or a way to capture the lived wisdom already present within your organisation.

Meaningful Experiences for Teams

I offer story-led workshops and filmed storytelling projects designed to bring more reflection, connection, and humanity into the workplace.

These experiences are suited to organisations that value communication, wellbeing, creativity, and the sharing of real human insight. Some are interactive workshops for groups. Others involve working with individuals or teams to shape meaningful experiences into clear, engaging stories that can be shared internally—and, where appropriate, externally.

My approach combines storytelling, facilitation, performance, and a strong understanding of how to help people communicate with clarity and authenticity.

 

What I Offer

Storytelling Workshops

These workshops help participants become more confident, engaging, and thoughtful communicators.

Depending on the needs of your group, sessions can explore:

  • how to tell a clear and engaging story
  • finding structure: beginning, middle, and end
  • speaking with confidence and presence
  • storytelling in professional settings
  • listening, empathy, and human connection
  • how personal experience can carry meaning for others
  • using story to communicate values, learning, and insight

These workshops can be light, creative, and energising—or more reflective and purposeful, depending on the context and the group.

They are well suited to team events, wellbeing programmes, communication initiatives, learning and development, and off-site days.

Story-Led Video Projects

I create thoughtful, story-led video projects built around the voice, experience, and insight of your people.
 
Every organisation contains a wealth of lived experience. These projects offer a way to capture that wisdom and shape it into clear, engaging stories that can support culture, communication, learning, wellbeing, and staff connection.
 
I work with individuals or teams to help them identify the heart of what they want to say and express it with clarity and authenticity. The finished pieces may include staff stories, team reflections, leadership insights, values in action, onboarding or mentoring content, and other human-centred stories for internal or external use.
 
Where appropriate, I can also bring a more cinematic approach to the finished piece—helping it feel warm, engaging, and memorable rather than purely functional.

Storytelling Show

Bring something different to your event with a live storytelling performance rooted in Irish history, myth, song, and human experience. These shows are designed to entertain, engage, and create a genuine shared atmosphere—whether as part of a corporate evening, client event, cultural programme, or team gathering.

Drawing on my background as a storyteller, actor, and performer, I create performances that are warm, memorable, and rich in character. Depending on the occasion, the show can include dramatic storytelling, humour, reflection, and song, and can be tailored to suit the tone of the audience and event.

This is ideal for organisations looking for something more meaningful and distinctive than standard entertainment—something with personality, cultural richness, and real human connection.

Who This Is For:

These offerings may be particularly suited to:

  • HR and People & Culture teams
  • internal communications teams
  • learning and development initiatives
  • wellbeing and employee engagement programmes
  • organisations going through change
  • teams who want more meaningful ways of connecting
  • companies who value the stories, experience, and insight of their people

This work is especially valuable for organisations that want to move beyond generic messaging and create something more honest, thoughtful, and lasting.

My Approach

My background is in storytelling, performance, facilitation, and live cultural experience.

For many years I have worked directly with groups, helping people engage with stories, ideas, and emotions in a way that feels natural and memorable. I bring that same sensibility into workshops and filmed projects within organisations.

I do not approach this as a purely technical video service. What matters most to me is helping people find the meaning in what they want to say—and helping them express it with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.

That means creating an atmosphere where people feel comfortable, guided, and respected, while also ensuring that the final result is engaging and well crafted.

What Teams and Organisations Gain

Depending on the format, these experiences can help support:

  • stronger communication
  • more confident speaking
  • deeper listening
  • reflection and perspective
  • team connection
  • staff engagement
  • culture and belonging
  • the sharing of useful lived experience
  • meaningful internal content
  • a more human workplace culture

At their best, these projects do more than simply document a message. They help reveal the people and values behind the work.

Formats

Projects can be tailored to suit your organisation and may include:

  • one-off workshops
  • half-day or full-day sessions
  • small group storytelling sessions
  • individual story development and filmed interviews
  • short internal video projects
  • creative sessions as part of wider team or wellbeing events

If helpful, I can also work with you to shape the experience around a particular theme, challenge, or organisational goal.

A More Human Alternative

Many organisations want their people to feel more connected, more seen, and more able to communicate with meaning—but finding the right format can be difficult.

These workshops and story-led projects offer a thoughtful and creative way to do that.

They are rooted in real experience, shaped with care, and designed to create something that people will actually remember.

Participant
“For me, this workshop was about finding yourself, because I think that is one of the most important things. There is often a feeling that you have to be this or that, or somehow be good enough. But really, it is about being yourself. If you cannot learn to be yourself, you cannot really learn anything.”
Derick Farrell
Fountain Youth Project
"Thanks so much Cathal, it was a joy having you with us at the Fountain Youth Project. The young people from Basin Street absolutely loved the sessions and gained so much confidence from your guidance. Seeing their creativity come alive in See Me, Hear Me was something really special. Grateful for the collaboration and all you brought to the project Cathal."
