course leader, consultant and storyteller
storytelling for a modern age...
THE NEW STORY...
I teach people how to tell stories.
I teach people how to choose stories, how to use stories, how to stand up, be confident and tell stories in business and anywhere else, how to find a true voice, and I teach people how to make their stories come alive.
I use storymaking and storytelling to open up creativity, confidence, freedom to speak and new possibilities for people, in their ordinary lives and in organisations.
As a consultant I use story as the vehicle for researching, designing and delivering courses and workshops to transfer complex ideas, changes and knowledge faster and more effectively than any other method I've seen.
I run creative, interactive workshops: I use stories, poems, exploring, conversation, playing, practice and reflection…
...and - if I can - no slides!
Courses to help you to be a confident and engaging speaker, presenter, contributor and storyteller...
Courses to help you engage people better - personally and as an organisation...
Courses to bring new perspectives on work, life, family, relationships...
Courses to help you to free your imagination and bring your communication alive...
RECOMMENDATIONS
"I think it's been a resounding success: professionally run and we should see the rewards from it. A number of bridges were crossed over the two days and the penny started to drop. We've gone away with our tails up - overall a big tick in the box."
Strategic Account Team
Major UK Telecomms Provider.
"I have to say...I was very impressed by the techniques you developed and brought to life... I am convinced they will have done more to develop an understanding in the audience than any number of days of reading texts or watching slideware."
Big 4 Accounting Firm.
"We have a phrase for this kind of feedback: we normally call it 'rave reviews'"

...and just who is this Jim Pirrie character anyway?
Quiet, reflective writer in the office, energetic enthusiast in the training room…
I use my twenty years in organisations, ten years as an entrepreneur and a lifetime interest in the power, structure, application and delivery of stories to open people up to new ways of thinking and new ways of interacting with themselves and each other to help develop a freer, healthier, more rewarding experience of life at work and at home.
The world of imagination and creativity practically applied has been my life: this patented invention of mine was launched at the 2011 Southampton Boat Show - people are using it all over the world now. 
The exciting latest project (a little bit under wraps at the moment) is being commercially tested - so watch out for the Big Launch if you're in the Training business...!
