NHL Business Storytelling Training Case Study

Case study summary
The Goal
TRANSFORM NHL'S PRESENTATIONS FROM TRANSACTIONAL UPDATES INTO COMPELLING NARRATIVES THAT INSPIRE ACTION. MOVE FROM DRY, DISCONNECTED COMMUNICATIONS TO POWERFUL STORIES THAT BRING THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION TO LIFE.
KEY PLAYERS
NHL'S BUSINESS LEADERS AND COMMUNICATIONS TEAMS—PROFESSIONALS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONVEYING THE ORGANIZATION'S VISION AND VALUES TO DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS. THESE TALENTED INDIVIDUALS NEEDED TO EVOLVE FROM INFORMATION SHARERS INTO MASTERFUL STORYTELLERS WHO COULD CONNECT WITH AND MOVE ANY AUDIENCE.

CORE CHALLENGES
VALUABLE MESSAGES WERE LOSING THEIR IMPACT ON DELIVERY. DESPITE RICH CONTENT AND MEANINGFUL INITIATIVES, PRESENTATIONS REMAINED TRANSACTIONAL, FAILING TO CONNECT EMOTIONALLY WITH AUDIENCES. WITHOUT A CLEAR NARRATIVE STRUCTURE, THE ORGANIZATION'S POWERFUL MISSION AND VALUES WEREN'T RESONATING AS THEY SHOULD.

THE OUTCOME
NHL'S TEAMS NOW CRAFT PRESENTATIONS THAT CAPTIVATE AND INSPIRE. THEY'VE MASTERED THE ART OF TURNING BUSINESS UPDATES INTO COMPELLING STORIES THAT DRIVE EMOTIONAL CONNECTION AND INSPIRE ACTION.
THEIR NARRATIVES STRENGTHEN BRAND IDENTITY, BOOST ENGAGEMENT, AND CONSISTENTLY ACHIEVE STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES.

MASTER STORY STRUCTURE
Teams learned essential narrative frameworks that capture attention and drive action. They discovered how to craft compelling hooks, develop clear messages, and deliver impactful calls to action.
Participants built a toolkit of business stories tailored to different situations and audiences. They learned to identify the right story type for each occasion and how to showcase their organization's unique value.
The focus shifted to audience analysis and message adaptation. Teams practiced crafting core messages that resonate with diverse stakeholders while maintaining consistency in brand values.
The final phase centered on bringing stories to life through authentic delivery. Participants learned to balance data with emotion, creating presentations that both inform and inspire.

NEUROSCIENCE
Did you know that speaking with passion causes neurons in your audience’s brains to mimic your enthusiasm? All our training is informed by proven studies that reveal how the mind works and the techniques you can use to communicate effectively.
ADULT LEARNING THEORY
No one learns through lectures. Insights must be applied for them to be remembered. Skills must be practiced for new habits to form. Our coaching and training is experiential and tailored to ensure maximum retention and skill building.
PERFORMING ARTS
An actor on a stage, with no microphone, can speak with such gravitas, power, and charisma that any audience will sit and listen, enraptured. We teach you how to communicate this way. So that your voice can command respect and be heard.

“I am so thankful for your help. I have received so many compliments on my speech, it felt unbelievable! This would not be possible without your amazing coaching! One of my mentors actually tweeted my presentation! What a huge compliment! Because of you, I now look at speeches in completely new ways. I look for ideas. I search for what perception has been changed after the speech. I notice the storytelling techniques. I even watch great speeches being delivered and, most times, I wish the speakers could have taken your course! This has been one of the best courses I have taken. I look forward to collaborating with you again. Working with you has been a transformative experience.”

"THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR LIVES"

CNN Hero Awards Winners and Founders of The Emilio Nares Foundation
Richard and Diane Nares
“Although we had spent 3 years in Toastmasters, it was nothing at all like sessions with Moxie Institute. Moxie’s sessions and their supportive techniques resulted in an empowering transition for both of us. We recently spoke at our annual fundraiser. Afterwards, every guest came up to tell us how amazed they were by our presentation! It was evident to them that we had PREPARED & REHEARSED! Moxie taught us both how to dig deep within ourselves to tell our story and they helped us feel safe enough to do this. Working with Moxie was transformation for us! We learned how to give the performance of our lives!”
