WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO LEARN

Is this course for you?

The question

When you speak in public, do you feel that your message comes across as dry and boring?
Do you find that much of storytelling in business is boring, predictable and self-aggrandising?

The promise

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.

I liked it a lot. It is very well structured and straight to the point, with useful assets and templates to leverage for practical applications.

I am an experienced speaker and have delivered dozens of presentations for large audiences. Still, Brian helped me tremendously: my presentation would not have been a success without his help.

About
Brian McCarthy helps people get their greatest work into the world. He helps individuals, teams and organisations turn their big ideas into reality.

From an early age we are taught to study, analyse and discuss the ideas of others. But what about our own big ideas? How can we learn to better concentrate on our own ideas, structure them more clearly, collaborate with others, and then present them persuasively to the world? These are concrete skills we can learn and improve throughout our lives. My work focuses on how to better form and perform ideas using best practices from the fields of philosophy, rhetoric and performance.
