Exploring the Essential Features of “Michael Margolis – StoryU E-Course: Undeniable Story”
There’s a Storytelling Revolution in Progress!
Storytelling is more than just a fad. It’s one of the hottest buzzwords, in-demand topics of the year. Its power and relevance acknowledged by the likes of TED, HBR, Oprah, Seth Godin, Brene Brown, and Malcolm Gladwell.
“This will be the #1 business skill of the next 5 years,” says LinkedIn. There’s a new way of communicating and doing business in the digital age. It’s called humanizing your message. You want to be real, personal, and authentic.
How Do You Get Your Story Straight?
You’ve read a few books, maybe taken a workshop. Now what? Storytelling really resonates. You’re just not sure how to “tell your story” in the right way. Much less how to use all the tools of the Internet to share your story to reach thousands, if not millions.
Storytelling is a self-conscious process. It’s not easy, at first. But when you crack the code, everything starts falling into place. Yet for all the storytelling “hype”, there’s nowhere as a coach, consultant, or marketer that you can comprehensively learn how to apply storytelling to your work and business. Until now. Welcome to StoryU Online.

Reimagining Storytelling, Since 2002
Hi! I’m Michael Margolis. I’m an internationally-recognized teacher, author, and storytelling expert. The son of an artist and inventor, I’m fascinated with how ideas travel through culture. For the last 13 years, I’ve been on a quest to unlock a new language for doing business in the 21st century. How to use storytelling to empower innovation, communicate breakthrough ideas, and facilitate change. Figuring out a way to do it this all from the heart.
I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to share this approach with many of the leading institutions of the world: Bloomberg, NASA, Greenpeace, SAP, Zappos, and countless others. I’ve also worked with thousands of coaches, consultants, change-agents, and marketers. In the process, I became Twitter’s #1 ranked authority on storytelling with 200,000+ followers. I’m on a mission now to empower thousands like you to apply storytelling to their dreams and vision.

What Others Have to Say…
“Previously, I could just tell a story straight, and this was any story at all, fiction or business. But now the idea of framing the story first is making me confident that for every story I tell there’s something upfront which any reader or viewer will first come across that hooks them in.”
Kabolobari Chase Benakole, Experience Designer
“The basic shift from Problem/Solution to Possibility / Obstacle is a huge upheaval in how to view situations. That mindset, combined with making the audience into heroes feels so foundational that even while I am reworking and refining my blueprint – it has already advanced me further along in my day-to-day. I love seeing people’s eyes light up with this approach.”
Joanne Heintz, Business Process Consultant
“Storytelling enables businesses to connect and engage with people. It always has and always will. But, you’ve created a path to tell a story that’s uplifting first, then goes through the lows based on the context. It doesn’t make people feel bad or alarmed from the first sentence, it lifts them up, arouses curiosity, and pulls them into the story. Great process Michael!”
