speaker: Richard Stone
Using
Storytelling To Help Your Organization Succeed
Tired of seeing your listeners' eyes glaze over as they're bombarded
with facts and
figures? Having trouble capturing people's attention long enough
to get a message across?
Feeling like your audience is disengaged-and starving for something
more meaningful to
connect with?
Here's
your opportunity to learn a powerful and practical communication
device that will
help you break though the clutter and win the hearts and minds of
your audience.
Discover
one of the oldest and most effective ways to communicate, and tailor
and refine it
to meet the demands and needs of the modern workplace. This one-day
workshop will teach you
the basic techniques of storytelling to help you accomplish practical
business objectives,
such as:
*
Communicating your mission, vision and strategy
* Reinforcing core attitudes, values and behaviors
* Recognizing and rewarding outstanding performance
* Marketing and selling a product or service
* Building brand loyalty
You'll
also learn how stories can:
*
Create better understanding and retention of key messages
* Influence beliefs and motivate people to "do things differently"
* Humanize your organization
* Get customers to fall in love with what you're selling and services
you offer
Sharing
stories about things that really matter, one of the oldest and most
personal forms
of communication, has an extraordinary effect on people. Rather
than telling them the point,
it shows them. Rather than merely informing, it inspires.
