«As in the flight of Icarus, school leaders observe the world in which they live as part of their vocation as educators; from above they see not only the houses but the neighborhood and the streets and the city and the fields and the people they know and those they may come to know, and an endless horizon.».

How to convey your school’s vision through «storytelling»

Participation dynamics based on the storytelling technique as an impact formula to attract, generate trust and strengthen leadership in the development of your school’s educational project.

Lead by: Julio Pérez-Tomé

Storyteller, Marketing and Communication Consultant. Team Coach.

«I have been building and creating messages to move, motivate and lead people for almost forty years. The “personal storytelling” uses the “BackMirror” method of my own making. A method that works because stories have worked over centuries. The big difference is that it shows us how to find in the past those daily and unique stories that will accompany us to transform our own life and the lives of others in an exciting tale.».
