Storytelling
Tell it like you mean it: touching people with your story
What is it about?
'Telling the right stories and telling the stories right'.
Storytelling is a technique that aims to maximise your message and to minimise noise. People who are able to tell their story from the heart, clear, to the point, with drive and enthusiasm, are more credible and make their message more appealing.
Telling stories to convey and remember information is as old as humanity. It unmistakably activates the ‘ON-button’ for any speaker, as it focuses on each individual’s ‘why’. Finding that ‘why’ is as important as being trained to present your story.
Make every word count and reach your audience
Both as a professional and as a human being you’ll be better equipped to convey any message if you’ve learned how to discover and tell your personal story. Aligning an organisational story with your own and being able to reach your audience on both levels, is a professional skill that helps you get further in almost any situation. If you want to make a positive change, be it in your micro-surroundings or on a macro-level, storytelling training will help you inform, touch and activate to improve your impact.
