2nd Story is a Chicago-based organization operating in the professional training and coaching space, with a track record of more than 25 years focused on helping people shape and share real stories. Its work blends storytelling, community-building, and culture change, founded on a collaborative process where writers, curators, directors, sound designers, and producers contribute to performances that center lived experiences brought to life with intention and care. The company extends its artistic approach to create StoryBuilds, interactive training sessions that translate narrative craft into practical workplace skills, aiming to improve trust, communication, empathy, collaboration, and leadership within teams, schools, and other community settings. By bringing rigor and artistry from performance into real-world contexts, 2nd Story seeks to foster environments where belonging and connection can thrive. While rooted in the arts, its offerings address organizational and educational challenges by helping groups surface their stories, listen deeply, and understand themselves and others more clearly.
