About The Event

There's nothing like a well-told story. Stories connect us and help us make sense of what's happening. A good story makes us think and feel in ways that numbers and PowerPoint simply can't. But how do you tell a story in the heat of the moment to make your point? During this interactive presentation you will learn a simple framework that you can use over and over again to create compelling stories that will be remembered long after the meeting is over.

• Use 3-step framework to create an engaging story that demonstrates your point
• Learn the storytelling tools and when to use them: Narratives, analogies and examples
• Incorporate vivid details into your story to make them engaging and memorable
• Practice telling your story and receive actionable feedback
