How To Use Story to Turn a Group of Individuals Into a Real Team (with Carlo D’Amore)

Most team-building feels like homework. A slide deck, an icebreaker, a breakout room where everyone waits for someone else to talk first.

Carlo D’Amore took a different route. He started out acting in New York, then began building true-crime mystery experiences based on real historical cases. Audiences didn’t watch the story. They worked it. Before long, companies wanted in. Apple, Meta, Goldman Sachs, Netflix, Spotify, and Google have all brought his experiences inside.

His argument is simple. You build a team by handing people a story to solve together. Solving it means taking some risks and owning a piece of the outcome. And while everyone’s chasing the same clue, job titles stop mattering much.

Carlo talks about what happens in the room. People laugh and feel the tension build as a group. Grown professionals start playing again. And sometimes the person who never speaks up in meetings is the one who cracks the case.

If your team could use a story to solve, book a strategy call with Carlo’s team.
