Event Description:

Storytelling - Why Your Business Cannot Survive Without It

Storytelling has emerged in the last decade as one of the most effective ways to communicate information to others. Bullet points on Powerpoint slides have been shown to be archaic and ineffective. As important as storytelling is, it may surprise you to learn that many people in the marketplace are poor storytellers, and thus, ineffective communicators. This workshop will introduce you to the basics of effective storytelling, why we as business owners should learn to do tell stories effectively, and how we can use personal stories to move others to understand your business better.
