Exploring the two aspects of Storytelling; the ‘story’ - its structure and ‘telling’ - the art of delivery, story telling is an essential part of any leader’s communication tool kit. The workshop will describe why stories are more persuasive than facts and how our brains are hardwired to respond to stories. Six different storytelling structures will be explored to help to make stories more compelling and how collecting ‘themes’ will help leaders to inspire, inform and awaken the sleeping wisdom in a room.
