ABOUT THE Session

Think of any great leader and it won’t take you long to figure out that they are also master storytellers.  Storytelling is increasingly becoming a “must-have” skill for leaders, but you still won’t find it in many MBA course catalogs.  

This session will give you a deeper understanding of why story is such a powerful strategic tool and will illustrate how personal stories can help you become more relatable, authentic and credible at work. 

We’ll also share different models you can use to craft stories for your next big presentation, conversation or meeting. 

You will leave this session with a new “antenna” for story as well as insight into how to find and deliver your best stories, enabling you to confidently bring your own unique voice to the workplace. 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• The neuroscience that proves why stories work;

• The power of personal storytelling to motivate and inspire others;

• A simple technique drawn from the world of media training that you can use to become more memorable and impactful in your everyday conversations;

• How to find your best personal stories;

• Story-building formulas you can use to craft your own stories;

• How “moments of realization” can enrich your stories.

OPTIONAL LEARNING LAB WORKSHOP AVAILABLE

Looking to offer participants a hands-on experience after they take this class? Our Learning Lab add-on class may be just the thing.  Learning Labs give participants a chance to bring in their own content and practice key skills for instructor feedback.  So that we can offer a personalized experience, we limit the number of attendees who can join each Learning Lab. Each participant will be asked to complete some light “pre-work” beforehand so they come to the session warmed up and ready to go.
