Storytelling for Leaders

Discover the impact stories can have on your communications. Learn to frame stories for impact, tailoring them for your team, boss, or group presentations. Participants will explore how to leverage neuroscience in storytelling, improve messaging to inspire and engage audiences, and shift from fact-driven to human-centric presentations to inspire stakeholders.

Telling the right story at the right time can help you build trust, advocate for yourself, and advance your career.

The workshop will include opportunities for participation, reflection, and Q&A. Participants will leave with actionable steps to enhance how they tell stories to inspire both themselves and others to take action.
