Jens Larsen

I am a co-founder of the True Storytelling Institute. I live in Copenhagen, Denmark. My big passion is to help people to succeed through true storytelling. I teach and use the 7 Principles in True Storytelling in my life and work. I am an experienced and inspiring coach, teacher, and consultant working with personal development, leadership, and change management strategy. For the last twenty years, I have helped leaders and people in organizations find their true stories and create commitment for strategies and projects through storytelling and together-telling. My approach to life is inspired by the Scandinavian way of living, and I have a passion for the Arctic. I have written several books on leadership, storytelling, and sustainability, e.g., co-written True Storytelling - Seven Principles for an Ethical and Sustainable Change-management Strategy.

About this course

The True Storytelling Ethics Foundation Module
We live in a time of many changes; a pandemic, financial market swings, fake news, political turmoil, and climate change are only a few.

Many people are struggling and experiencing high levels of stress.

Especially in these times, we need people who are ethically strong and dare to stand in the arena and fight for ethical and sustainable change.

It is an opportunity to create a 'new normal' and leave the 'old normal' behind.

This is what True Storytelling is about. A method to create ethical and sustainable changes by utilizing the 7 principles of True Storytelling.

The beginning of your journey through the Ethics Foundation Module will help you become aware of your situation now and the challenges you are struggling with, and why it is important for you to live an ethical life, one where you care for yourself, nature and your community.

7 seven principles for an ethical life
On your journey through the sessions, you will create your new story and a focus on navigating by using your moral compass in your private and working life.

You will experience the power of being guided by the 7 principles in True Storytelling, conversational storytelling, and indigenous storytelling, and how to use a storyboard in your personal and professional journey.
