Hero’s Journey Circular Storytelling Diagram Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

This Hero’s Journey diagram visually maps the classic 12-stage narrative arc in a circular layout, perfect for storytelling, branding, and character development presentations. Each phase—starting from the “Ordinary World” and progressing through “Call to Adventure,” “Ordeal,” and “Return with the Elixir”—is clearly labeled and icon-illustrated along the green-ringed wheel. At the center, a 3D-style animated character symbolizes the protagonist’s transformational journey, adding a dynamic and engaging visual anchor.

The circular format is divided into three key arcs—Departure, Initiation, and Return—highlighting the journey’s structural flow. Each step is color-coded and spaced evenly around the circle for quick comprehension and presentation rhythm. The gradient green background provides a calming yet energetic context, reinforcing themes of growth and exploration.

Fully editable in both PowerPoint and Google Slides, this template allows for text customization, character swaps, and brand color adjustments. Ideal for screenwriting, marketing campaigns, leadership training, or personal development storytelling, it communicates complex story frameworks in a simple and visually compelling format.
