Storytelling for Change is a 6 module course that will help you better connect with your audience, whether in a meeting with one person or in a presentation to hundreds of people. The course is 7 weeks long as one of the modules requires two weeks to complete.
Acumen and The Ariel Group have created a hands-on course to help you develop your practical skills as a storyteller. Whether you work in an office, making presentations in the boardroom, as a teacher with 30 to 300 students, interacting with customers, or one-on-one with individuals, using the elements of story bring you closer to your audience.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of this course, you will:
Be confident in using stories, especially personal stories, as a part of your communication toolkit.
Know how to tell stories and use a specific set of storytelling skills so that you connect with the hearts and minds of your audience.
Have developed, rehearsed, and received feedback on one personal story as a replicable model so that you can build a personal ‘library’ or ‘back pocket’ of stories that can be used in different situations.
Be able to use a 5-step process to integrate story into presentations for change, work or many other situations.
