Executive StorytellingSM Seminar
There is an axiom that managers direct and executives convince, but that true leaders inspire. Business leaders have now rediscovered that, regardless of role or position, the best way to make a point, convince a skeptic, or encourage another is by telling an authentic and compelling story.
Our Executive Storytelling Seminar is a one-day training program that transforms the traditional techniques of storytelling into a powerful business resource that anyone can use.
If you are ready to take your communication skills to the next level and would like a tool that not only overrides the boredom of typical business presentations but is also a powerful motivator and management tool, then this seminar is for you.
You will learn how to use stories to:
- Capture attention and boost retention of your message,
- Bring complex facts and figures to life,
- Engage and motivate others,
- Break down barriers,
- Move people to action,
- Take advantage of your own natural style, and
- Bolster your own storytelling abilities.

Who should attend?
Corporate executives looking to enliven their presentations, business communicators who need to deliver compelling arguments, and sales executives who want to become more persuasive.
Hands-on training
Our Executive Storytelling seminar is an interactive, hands-on workshop designed to introduce you to this powerful communication technique. You get to make actual presentations to a group of your peers and try out your new skills and techniques immediately. Your presentations are video recorded so that you have a visual benchmark and reference as you continue to polish your storytelling technique after the conclusion of the session.
Personalized Instruction
Classes are personalized to meet the individual needs of the participants in each session. You will learn how and where to find your own unique stories and how to effectively use them in the various business situations you will personally encounter. And, throughout the session, you will receive individual, one-on-one coaching and attention from our instructors.
Supportive environment
Class size for each of our sessions is purposely limited so that you get the personal attention and immediate feedback possible only in a small group setting. You gain valuable experience directly communicating and interacting with others in team exercises that, as closely as possible, mirror your real-world business presentations.
Proprietary tools
You will have an opportunity to use our proprietary presentation planning tools which help make the business of communicating easier, more effective and less stressful. You will learn how to effectively use these tools during the program and have continued online access to them after the program.
