Course overview
Stories are how we understand the world and when we hear stories we are more engaged than when we’re just given facts and figures.
This two-part practical training course is focussed on organisational storytelling for successful businesses.
Stories precipitate action in organisations and connect people in an impactful way to data, enabling leaders to facilitate complex cultural change more effectively. Developing your storytelling skills and learning how to compose attention grabbing narratives will help you engage better with your audience. Using these skills will enable your employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders understand your organisation and your aims better and inspire relationships and team-working.
With lots of interactions, discussions and practical activities, this course will be relatable, and provide a safe, friendly space to practice your storytelling and receive helpful feedback from the expert trainer.
After the first session there will be practical exercises for all participants to complete before the second part of the course. These exercises will be discussed and reviewed during the second session, so you can leave at the end of the course with the confidence to apply your new learning back in the workplace.
This training course is part of our collection of Leadership & Management Training Courses which focus on leadership, innovation, strategy, communication, finance, problem solving and conflict management, to name a few key areas.
