Storytelling for Business Professional Development:

Develop Commanding Presence, Authentic Leadership, and Influence Change.

 

Who is this for:

Professionals and leaders who want to communicate, influence, engage, and inspire others by integrating compelling personal narratives with business strategies.

Gain the advantage.

Storytelling is a highly effective tool for leaders. Information shared through stories alters how the human brain processes information. Instead of triggering critical analysis—which happens when people listen to facts and logic alone—stories trigger empathy and emotional resonance.

Storytelling in business replaces rehearsed pitches with real, authentic experiences that resonate with listeners. When a storyteller shares personal context, they shift from a detached expert to an authentic, relatable guide. This shift is the gateway to stakeholder support of community goals and objectives.

This small-group professional development workshop will teach you how to communicate business goals and objectives through dynamic storytelling that influences, persuades, and strengthens your presence. Participants will:

• Learn dynamic narrative story structure.
• Deconstruct complex strategies into easy-to-understand mission-driven stories.
• Connect with audiences through sharing of authentic lived experiences relevant to your presentation.
• Command attention by developing your own unique, dynamic presentation style.
• Influence/Persuade audiences through common goals and desired outcomes.

Students will take away one critiqued business presentation as the foundation for building a portfolio of stories and techniques to create their own unique, dynamic presentation style.
