The Framework: Shift the Narrative
At BESPEAK, we believe that fostering self-awareness is crucial to breaking down barriers to belonging. The courage to challenge our beliefs, behaviours, and biases begins with identifying the stories that shape us. By creating an environment where individuals feel safe to explore and share themselves, we open the door to stronger connections and cultural cohesion.
The Shift the Narrative framework guides us on this journey. It begins with understanding ourselves, which enables us to view things more objectively and gain a deeper understanding of others. This framework highlights three types of stories that either divide or unite us: the stories we tell ourselves, the stories we share with others, and the stories the world reflects back to us.
Our approach encourages participants to engage in courageous conversations that challenge their current perspectives and foster empathy. By reflecting on their personal stories, individuals gain insight into how their experiences influence their perceptions of others.
Problem: Individuals, teams, and leaders are often stuck in unseen stories, assumptions, patterns, or unspoken dynamics that silently shape decisions, relationships, and results. These narratives can create tension, lead to miscommunication, cause burnout, or hinder growth.
Solution: Shift the Narrative is a powerful workshop and training program that reveals hidden stories, equips you to name them, and provides practical tools to rewrite the narrative with courage and clarity.
Who It’s For-
Individuals ready to break personal patterns and speak their truth.
Teams & Leaders seeking stronger communication, healthier culture, and better collaboration.
Organisations wanting to transform conflict into creative energy.
Outcome: A new shared language, stronger confidence, and a future that isn’t dictated by the past. Participants leave with a clarified personal story and a culture where they have the courage to speak it.
