In our current, fast-paced digital age where businesses are all competing for attention and dealing with a cynical audience, it’s not enough just to offer up the facts about you or your company to potential customers, prospective employers or investors, or even to your own colleagues. You need to be able to show them: What makes you or your business so special? And to do that, you need to have a good story.

Stories are an effective way to transmit important information and values from one individual to the next. Stories that are personal and emotionally compelling engage more of the brain, are better remembered and more likely to provoke a positive response, than simply stating a set of facts.

This workshop is designed to introduce you to the power of storytelling.

Content:
a) Understand the science: Why do character-driven stories with emotional content result in a clearer understanding and better recall of key points?

b) Learn different storytelling techniques

c) Highlight ways to structure content for clarity and impact 
 

Join us to learn different storytelling techniques and how to effectively build and tell your company's story.
