Story Intelligence: The Craft of Authentic Storytelling Made Smarter with AI

Story Intelligence: The Craft of Authentic Storytelling Made Smarter with AI


Discover how the power of story and the precision of AI come together to redefine the future of authentic communication.

Join global storytelling expert Gabrielle Dolan – affectionately known as Ral – for the world exclusive online conversation about her brand-new book, Story Intelligence: The Craft of Authentic Storytelling Made Smarter with AI.

Hosted by Sia Papageorgiou FRSA, FCSCE, SCMP, co-founder of the Centre for Strategic Communication Excellence, this live event takes you behind the scenes of Gabrielle’s latest thinking – before the official book launch hits the shelves.

In an era where algorithms can generate words but not wisdom, Story Intelligence explores how those who lead, communicate and influence – from communication professionals to business leaders – can use AI without losing the heart and humanity of storytelling.

Expect an inspiring, practical and thought-provoking conversation on:

  • How AI is reshaping the way we craft and share stories

  • What makes a story truly authentic in a digital world

  • The key principles of “story intelligence” that set great storytellers and leaders apart

  • Real-world insights from Gabrielle’s research and writing process

This is your opportunity to join the conversation and shape it. Submit your questions for Gabrielle in advance when you register – your question might be featured during the live event.

 

Whether you’re a communication professional, leader or storyteller at heart, this session will challenge how you think about authenticity, connection and technology.

Your registration includes a copy of the recording, detailed session notes and the exclusive Story Intelligence Toolkit – a practical, downloadable resource featuring reflection questions, storytelling prompts and a quick-reference guide to applying AI responsibly in storytelling.

Hiring processes are still sidelining some of the most capable communication professionals — often for vague, unhelpful reasons like “too senior,” “too broad,” or “not quite the right fit.” Beneath those labels sit deeper issues: discomfort with experience, misunderstanding of judgement-based roles and a growing but rarely acknowledged problem of ageism.

This webinar looks ahead to hiring in 2026 and asks some necessary questions about how communication capability is assessed, why experienced professionals are so often overlooked, and what needs to change if organisations genuinely want stronger leadership, trust and influence.
