Amplify Your Voice: The Power and Potential of Storytelling

Description

Critical to your success as an industry leader is your ability to communicate with employees, patients, families, and the public. Storytelling is a powerful, underutilized communication tool. The sharing of first-person stories builds a bridge, enabling people to connect, understand change, and develop a shared perspective. 

This workshop addresses:

• What are the different types of stories? 
• Why do first-person stories have the most impact?
• How do I determine the best story or stories for my audience? 
• What are the steps to building a compelling story?
• How do I connect my message to my purpose?
• What tools can help me become more comfortable with storytelling?

Becoming an effective storyteller will help you realize your potential as a leader in your professional and personal life and bring out the best in the people around you. This 90-minute pre-conference will help you move from talking and telling to persuading and advocating.
