Today’s media landscape of unprecedented speeds and volumes of information transfer has led to competition between messages. Anyone who wants to influence, whether it’s to push forward a social cause, to sell products, or simply to change the way people think, has no choice but to share their messages in the most compelling way.
One of the most effective and powerful tools of influence is storytelling.
Think about it, our lives are made up of stories, stories of our past, stories we tell ourselves and stories people tell about us. Human beings share stories to remind each other of who they are and how they should act. These tales are deeply ingrained in our DNA, and no matter where or when you were born, certain patterns of stories will influence you enormously. When we hear stories based on these patterns, we feel more like we’re remembering something forgotten than learning something new.
Storytelling may be an age-old tradition, but in today’s corporate world, it’s also been embraced as a uniquely powerful business practice. Top organizations utilize it as a means to communicate vision. Forward thinking business schools now include storytelling courses in their management curriculum. As a leader or a manager, if you’re not using storytelling as a method to rally your troops and convince others of your ideas, you’re missing out on one of the most powerful tools you have at your disposal.
How good are you at articulating the story of your life to connect with others? How well can you tell the story of your company, of the people you lead so they feel valued? In this highly experiential and exploratory workshop, Coen Tan will lead you through how to generate powerful stories from our own lives and observations from everyday lives to powerfully influence people that you lead.

Testimonial
Coen's speech always never fail to captivate and impress. As it's always filled with genuine and real life stories of his personal experiences that touched my heart. It just make me want to hear more to see how he go through those difficult times and how we can learn more from him. It's as if hearing a theatre play that brings us from start to end with many ups and downs within. Looking forward to hearing your next "play" again
Through his program, I was able to embrace my unique energy, and create a message that deeply resonates with my authentic self, and that will stand out in the market. Coen has a knack of unmasking the unsaid behind the person that sometimes you yourself don't understand. I would highly recommend Coen.
Certainly, Coen is very authentic as an individual who has also experienced past hurts, and he can guide me in seeing my life as an experience. His acknowledgement of my strength is greatly appreciated
Coen is a very thoughtful coach, he is able to unleash one's potential through a short coaching role play session, asking right questions at right time to lead our classmates better. I would absolutely recommend this program.
I also warmly observed your gentle heart tapping when you were picking up emotions from people during the session; you communicated your empathy through action and that was a lesson as well. Thank you for the session. Really inspiring.
Personally I am very inspired by Coen. Looking forward to learn more from him.
I am extremely impressed by his ability to actively listen while shedding light on different aspects of my life. He is a gifted coach who reflects empathy, patience and kindness to others.

Coen Tan's Profile
Workshop Facilitator, Natural Empath, Improv Enthusiast
As a facilitator, Coen envisions a world in which people break out of their self-imposed limitations and express themselves courageously to serve others. He believes that every person deserves to be seen, be heard, and be appreciated.
This conviction comes from difficult personal experiences.
Personal Experiences
Growing up as an emotionally sensitive child, Coen often “felt” emotions that people were not aware of feeling themselves, so he was often labelled as “overly sensitive.” For a long time, he has accepted these labels and therefore learn to keep his emotions to himself. This led him to isolate himself, got bullied in school, and fell into depression.
After a long journey of personal healing, working through his experiences, Coen is now able to understand that his perceived weaknesses are actually his strengths when applied with empathy.
Today, he brings his gifts of compassion, curiosity and creativity to create safe places where individuals can challenge themselves and achieve personal and team transformations. Combining his understanding of human psychology with improvisation theatre techniques, Coen’s workshops are engaging, fun and deep learning experiences.
