Lead With Story.
Learn With Depth.

You've read the business books. But depth? That's rare.

In this live 60-minute workshop, we'll unpack a short story (yes, fiction!) to reveal the leadership instincts hiding between the lines.

📘 Here's What We'll Explore Together:
  • 📖 Read between the lines — like a lit major with leadership instincts
  • 🔍 Spot nuance and symbolism — like a seasoned leadership coach
  • 💡 Turn empathy into action — through the power of story
💬 What leaders are saying
"[This is] an innovative way of weaving love and passion for literature with lessons on courageous leadership... a powerful way to help us keep evolving how we show up as leaders."
Lenka Berkowitz, Senior Evaluator at Apex Evaluation

Why It Matters

Fiction changes how you lead.
Fiction stretches your imagination, sharpens emotional intelligence, and builds the kind of perspective today's leaders need — especially in a world driven by data.
And there's science behind it...

Led by a Technical Mentor With a Literary Mind

Because leadership isn't just learned — it's felt.

Hi, I'm Lee — a lifelong reader and seasoned mentor in the tech world.

I design learning experiences that build better leaders. And I believe fiction teaches what data alone can't. This workshop blends heart, intellect, and practical insight for real-world leadership.

I created this workshop after noticing how many leaders were over-relying on frameworks and under-developing imagination and curiosity — the very traits they need most.
