When you watch a movie, read a book or even listen to a song, what’s the thing that draws you in? The story. By framing what you want to express within a narrative, you help people better understand, follow and care about what you’re saying.

In this class, you’ll learn how to:

 

• Connect with others through story.
• Use a story spine to craft your story, give it definition and develop mission visions.
• Explore different ways to add story to everything you present and share.
• Personalize your content so you can ease your nerves and establish deeper connections with your audience and colleagues.
• Avoid presentations that are too long or too short, rambling, overly technical, and either too high level or too complex.
• Conquer your stage fright by weaving in a familiar story so you can connect to yourself more deeply and feel a sense of calm on stage.
• Inspire and engage your audience with a great hook that’s never boring.
