1-Day The Transformative Power of Story: Using Storytelling to Lead, Sell, and Influence Course
Course Overview

Telling stories is more than just a folksy way to relate to others. It is a powerful and persuasive vehicle that top leaders use to get their message across with maximum impact and minimum resistance. Logic, reason, and data lead audiences to think about your proposal, delay action, and look for reasons not to take action. Stories push their emotional hot buttons and lead to action. Stories move people.
This workshop is designed for those who persuade in business. Leaders, sales professionals, and business development people have special needs for stories that can build credibility and trust, introduce their company and product, and create a picture of how their solution can change their prospect’s life.
