A proven method of delivering clear messages & motivating people
There has been phenomenal growth in the number of managers learning the art of storytelling and storyboarding. Too many managers rely on multiple slides and bore their audience to death. Imagine the difference if your management could inspire and motivate your staff by telling stories. Imagine if they could imprint critical information for instant retention.
Using Storytelling in Leadership & Management Training Course
This storytelling course was designed by a psychologist and is peppered with NLP learning techniques. If you are looking for an easy way to keep your staff and customers engaged, then this course is perfect for your managers.
Course Feedback
“Exceptional training session. Glenn showed great knowledge and adaptability. He was able to shift the focus and mold the content to best suite his audience’s needs. Those needs were complex by any measure, but Glenn was able to meet those needs with the well-practiced oratory of a true expert. I will genuinely use this content in my practice and remember Glenn’s coaching that was aimed at me personally in the future. That’s more than I can say for most courses I’ve taken”.

Course Description
Here is a quick exercisePut together some PowerPoint slides about your company, your clients, the year you commenced business and your strategic direction. Now show it to your employees and note them drifting in and out of consciousness. They will be bored and uninspired.As an alternative, tell a story about your company, why it was set up, the difficulties it faced, where the organisational values came from. Use a story board to show the reasoning behind your strategic objectives. Your audience will be engaged and motivated to get behind your strategic objectives.There are 14 proven rules to telling great stories. To whet your appetite we've listed 3 of the rules:Rule #5 - Create visual metaphors. Strong visual metaphors used in the right sequence can keep any audience on the edge of their seat (no matter what the topic is).Rule #8 - Build rapport and trust. Most managers are aware of the critical importance of rapport and trust. However very few managers have a tool kit of practical ideas to build rapport and gain trust. Unlock the power of fictitious platforming techniquesRule #10 - Embed emotional triggers and cues - This part of story telling is not for the feint hearted. The story teller needs to dig deep to bring out emotive cues to connect deeply with the audience. The emotional cues and triggers need to be planned and strategically placed into the story for maximum impact."People have forgotten how to tell a story. Stories don't have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning." - Steven SpielbergWould you like to attend this program?For maximum effectiveness, this program is best conducted as an in-house program.Ideal group size: 4 - 9 participants.Venue: For your convenience, you can choose to conduct this program at your business premises.
