Strategic Storytelling

Strategic Storytelling

This course has been designed to help you bring your stories to the next level. You will learn and practice a proven methodology to tell your stories confidently, clearly and with an emotional impact. You will experience how telling stories helps you make sense of life experiences and learnings.

Make your stories come alive and build compelling narratives

  • When you speak in public, do you feel that your message comes across as dry and boring?
  • How can you use stories to better engage your audience, and when should you use them (and not use them)?
  • Do you find that much of storytelling in business is boring, predictable and self-aggrandising?

We all know a great story when we hear one and that storytelling is an essential leadership skill. However, the stories we hear people tell at work (and tell ourselves!) are usually boring, self-aggrandising and disconnected from business concerns and strategy. Therefore, we need a simple, adaptable and practical method to help us tell stories that engage our audience and can be combined with data, plans and strategy.

In traditional workshops, even the great ones, participants have forgotten much of what they learned within a few weeks. That’s why we’ve created a stand-alone online version of the workshop that they can access forever post-course. Here is an excerpt from the online version of Strategic Storytelling.
