Storytelling

About this training

Storytelling is an effective technique to accurately put your idea across and increase commitment and motivation. Forget about PowerPoint and statistics. To involve people at the deepest level, you need stories. In this course you'll learn how to tell stories that connect to and inspire your audience. 

This training course teaches you how to persuade others through a well-told story, and lifts your presentation, idea or project to a higher level. We look into how you can present your message and make it stick. You learn how to build up a good story and become an inspirational raconteur. A well-told story allows you to express your vision in a captivating way, to facilitate changes, motivate others and reinforce your organisation’s values.

  • The power of stories.

  • Narrative techniques: there are numerous ways to tell your story, such as urgency, the use of narrative elements, creating a tension span, adding a good plot and twists to the story. 
  • Creating a presentation plan: in this part of the course you learn how to apply and combine visual elements so that they become clear and convincing. You learn how to keep your audience’s attention throughout your presentation. 
  • Practical exercises: using various interactive cases and practical sessions, you immediately put the newly acquired skills into practice.

Testimonials

“My questions were: how to make a story concise and to the point? ‘Sell’ projects better (internally)? These questions were amply answered in the storytelling workshop. The course had a clear structure, lots of practice opportunities and there was a lot of interaction. This was very instructive. The trainer was a pleasant and experienced teacher. He knows his story/profession very well.”
