Transformational and collaborative communications that models retellability, culture, and impact
Legend Experience
The
Leadership, communications training, and storytelling keynote — all in one.
Bring everyone’s story into the mix with this radically interactive experience that turns your team members into the collaborators in your collective story. The time-tested Legend Experience creates the kind of belonging, trust, and shared purpose that changes how you relate to one another.
“This evening transcended what any of us do professionally. I’m still feeling the meaning woven in each of your stories and feeling grateful for the experience Jay Golden ignited in all of us.”
We put up the stage to take down the stage.
Part TED-style story showcase. Six of your transformative leaders share breakthrough stories that illuminate who you are as an organization.
Part storytelling masterclass. Between storytellers, Jay shares digestible insights on how stories work.
Curiosity turns to collaboration. As momentum in the experience grows, suddenly the focus turns to the audience. Every person in the room contributes insights, connects experiences, and becomes part of a greater story.
What makes Legend transformational:
🎯 Story Skills Mastery: Participants learn proven frameworks for crafting and sharing their own powerful narratives
🔗 Radical Connectivity: Featured leadership and team member stories create accessible people beyond titles and judgments.
🏠 Accellerate Belonging: Creates the "we're in this together" feeling that makes people see each other differently
🎬 Media With Meaning: Transform breakthrough moments on stage into ongoing marketing, training, and culture-building tools
📈 Cultural Acceleration: Months of team-building compressed into one powerful evening
🤝 On-boarding Gold: Potential and brand new team members experience your culture through the authentic voices of colleagues, not corporate messaging

Your storytelling coaching of our nonprofit leaders was transformational, and the resulting event was amazing. Participants were walking out saying “that was magical,” and “we should do that every year.” And they are right. My GRATITUDE for holding all these beautiful leaders through this vulnerable process and hitting the ball OUT OF THE PARK even though we blindfolded you and didn’t tell you much of anything at all. Your ability to marry personal convictions and motivation to our collective industry goals really did help change the narrative.
