A company that wanted its people
to find their voice.
Mollie, one of Europe’s leading fintech companies, recognised that communication skills were becoming a competitive advantage — not just for leadership, but for everyone. The question wasn’t whether people had valuable perspectives. It was whether they felt equipped and confident to share them.
They brought in Narrative Learning Lab to design and run a programme that would build real public speaking capability — and culminate in something the wider company could experience and learn from together.
The theme was Speaking Up: how to speak with confidence, how to handle difficult conversations, how to make yourself heard in a room that isn’t always listening.
Three phases.
One transformation.
The programme was designed to build capability step by step — from fundamentals to live performance in front of the whole company.
You had to be there.
Almost.
Five speakers. Five moments
nobody expected.
The difference between where the five speakers started and where they ended up on the night was, in the words of several attendees, black and white. Each had taken a real experience from their working life and shaped it into something worth sharing.
The audience — colleagues enjoying a beer in a space they knew well — found themselves genuinely moved. Not by polished performance, but by honesty. By the recognition of something true in what they were hearing.
After the event, people stayed. They talked. They came up to the speakers, to the organisers, to each other — expressing gratitude for addressing something so rarely spoken about openly at work.
What the numbers
actually showed.
