Who hasn't sat through a presentation and been bored, even when you really wanted to hear what the speaker had to say?
If you are the speaker, you may know your audience and their needs. You may also be a subject matter expert on what they need. So what will prevent your audience from falling asleep or at least be unmoved by what you say? The element that will bridge the gap between your audience's needs, and your knowledge is compelling storytelling.
Information without emotion is data and will be lost to memory almost immediately. Information emotionalized through storytelling becomes internalized and retained. Sharing your information through a well-crafted story will leave a lasting impression that can highlight a cause, compel action and elevate your career.
What you will learn:
- The power of storytelling to convey ideas and emotions
- Important differences between personal vs. business storytelling
- How to properly prepare your story
- Understand story structure and how it impacts the listener
- Being authentic is the only way to be effective
