Learn how to use the power of storytelling to communicate your message and win support from stakeholders in an intensive, highly motivational and interactive 1-day course.
Stories are part of the very essence of being human. For a million years we’ve been making up stories to make sense of life, to share the things we fear or desire. This primal need is still in us - we download books, we binge-watch TV series, we gorge on stories with the same enthusiasm as our ancestors. Media knows this, politicians know it, smart business knows it. They all try to reach out to us by creating narratives we can relate to, narratives we can - often literally - buy into.
To tell a good story, then, isn’t merely a fun pastime, it’s a survival technique, and a powerful tool in communicating our thoughts and needs with those around us. Every leader and manager needs this talent, every professional, every friend, every parent, every human being. The good news is, it’s a talent we can all develop through a set of skills we can learn.
