A Storytelling Workshop for Employee-Owners

Employee ownership is most powerful when the story is understood and shared. This session transforms ESOP 101 into a storytelling workshop where each speaker shares a compelling narrative that illustrates a different facet of employee ownership. Attendees will hear how ESOPs can create lasting generational impact, connect ownership to team engagement, and empower employees to think and act like owners. The session also provides practical guidance on crafting and sharing ownership stories within organizations, helping participants leave with tools and inspiration to communicate the value of ownership in ways that resonate with colleagues and the broader community.

In this interactive session, participants will break into small groups to craft and share their own ESOP stories, receive peer feedback, and discuss strategies to communicate these stories effectively within their organizations.
