Storytelling Training & Narrative Business Coaching
for Scientists, Academic Institutions, Companies, and Solo Professionals
Learn to communicate your knowledge, inspire audiences & drive success
with Dr. Anja Timmermann – Certified Science Storytelling Trainer
Hello you, Changemaker with Expertise
— success begins with a story.
Standing in front of an audience—the pulse quickens, sweating starts. That deep human fear of public speaking is universal. Yet, it’s exactly here that storytelling unlocks its power.
The perfect opening story in a keynote, a TED talk, or an academic or business presentation can feel almost magical—captivating audiences and creating connection. But real impact is not made up in a minute: it comes from mastering storytelling through structured preparation, and focused continual daily storytelling. My storytelling impulses are perfectly tailored for busy professionals, teams and leaders.
