BUSINESS STORYTELLING MASTERCLASS
MASTER YOUR STORY AND BUILD A MOVEMENT IN YOUR ORGANISATION
Enrol in this Business Storytelling Masterclass, an intensive, inspiring and challenging 2 days about making impact, knowing what business you are in, building your message, understanding story elements, and how to successfully apply it in your organisation and your day-to-day business.
- Are you looking to have a clear, compelling message what you are about?
- Want to engage audiences with cleverly designed storyline presentations?
- You want to claim or change your position and perception in the organisation?
- You’d like to be better at influencing business audiences?
In two days you and the team will go through what makes a story so powerful to use in a business environment. From the evolution of storytelling to how to use it in strategic discussions. You’ll learn about the different languages spoken in businesses, and you’ll be challenged to answer what business you are really in. You’ll explore the different building blocks available to make a powerful story.
And then, you’ll learn how to use it to convince, sway and resonate with the different audiences of your organisation. Who are your stakeholders? Do you know what’s on their minds? Can you proof the value you deliver, show the authority you have, and push the right buttons?
Aiming to build a sustainable movement, you’ll also learn how to keep your message top of mind for everyone, and how to inspire a team culture where everyone works together on one story.
Set against a continuously evolving landscape of trends, developments and behaviour, the course has a rich variety of surprising twists, challenges and novel insights. In short, you will encounter the full breadth of what it means to be a Business Storyteller.
So, sign up for a course that will take you on a superb ride. From Charlie Chaplin to Scheherazade (1,001 nights), and from Tribal myths to Victorian literature, Fortnite, Star Wars, the benefits of St. Patrick’s Day, the insights of Walt Disney or the wisdom of Ron Swanson…. To name just a few.
As crazy it may sound, all of these wild examples will help you design your business story and strengthen your position in your organisation.
The course is loaded with very concrete, tangible exercises and practical steps. You’ll walk away with an Action Plan and bucket loads of inspiration, tips, insights and new learned skills.
