Story Telling Course Feedback

“Exceptional training session. Glenn showed great knowledge and adaptability. He was able to shift the focus and mould 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 exercise:

Put 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.

Rule #10 – Embed emotional triggers and cues – this part of story telling is not for the faint-hearted. The storyteller 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 Spielberg
