6 hrs of training from 9:00a-4:00p (flexible schedule)
Somewhere in between aimless chatter, and transactional salesman ship is the art of storytelling. It requires that you keep the listener engaged, know where you are going with the tale, and tell it like it is the first time, no matter how many times you have told the story before. It is public speaking, and it is theater, but in the context of business it is outcome driven. Culture is built on stories so the power shift culture rests on the ability to craft a compelling narrative. Whether engaging with potential collaborators or inspire participation in your programs we need to be able to deliver a message that conveys not only information but meaning to get them excited about what you are excited about. This is course will get you out of your seat and into action. You will move your body, loosen up, applying techniques from the world of performance art coupled with writing exercises and a design thinking method that is impact oriented.
