Transform Your Team.
Most team-building workshops are forgotten by Monday morning. Robert Xavier-Fogarty’s Corporate Storytelling Workshop is different.
What is a corporate storytelling workshop?
A corporate storytelling workshop is an interactive session where employees share authentic personal stories to build psychological safety and trust. Robert Xavier-Fogarty's Dear World method adapts the Brain Tattoo framework for corporate teams, replacing surface-level icebreakers with deep connections that drive performance.
By adapting the world-famous Dear World method for the boardroom, we help employees trade surface-level "icebreakers" for deep, empathetic connections that drive performance.

Data shows that psychological safety is the #1 predictor of high-performing teams. When leaders and employees share their authentic stories, trust skyrockets.

"I’ve been doing leadership summits and leadership events my entire career, and I can honestly say this was the best experience I’ve ever had."
"Dear World gave us the opportunity to share intimate moments with the people we love and with the people we were trying to build a tremendous amount of trust with. There is no greater trust than telling someone something deeply personal about yourself. When the whole team does that, you don’t just have a chance to become closer — you do. It had nothing to do with basketball, and yet it had everything to do with basketball. It created a more trusting environment where you could teach better defense, better offense, and build a stronger system of communication, because people weren’t holding anything back."
"Because of Dear World, we are better able to tell our story and spark curiosity about who we are, where we came from, and where we are going. Every Airman has a story — and this work made a huge difference in mine."
"I’ve never seen an exercise break down barriers faster than this one. If you want a group to connect and bond quickly, I would highly recommend Dear World."
"Dear World opens the door to honest communication and gives students the courage to take risks and share their stories."
"Dear World strengthened relationships and the trust on my team because they provide a process that is authentic, safe and memorable for us to truly tell our stories and to listen to our colleagues"
"Dear World makes friends of stranger. What they have to say. What we get to see. Captured in a photograph. Their process is remarkable because colleagues truly begin understand the stories within their team."
