Commercial Storytelling
Weapons of mass influence
Synopsis:
In a world of dry waffle and data-heavy communication, stories stand out.
Stories are powerful and memorable. They pre-date writing or numbers, and have been told for millennia. This workshop shows you how to use the power of storytelling in your business.
We use familiar stories and well-known communicators to tell you how stories are structured. Then we show you how to weave storytelling into your business communication, to transform both your message and its delivery. Put simply, numbers can support your case, but stories do the convincing. This is a skill that can serve you in every professional scenario.
