Tell Your Story: Make Your Life Interesting To Strangers

TELL YOUR STORY: MAKING YOUR LIFE INTERESTING TO STRANGERS

We all lead rich, complicated, and interesting lives. However, just because something happened to you doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to be interesting to anyone else.

Do you feel like whenever you tell a story to someone, you end up just droning on with little direction and seemingly no end in sight?

Do you want to be able to think in a cohesive fashion that allows you to connect quickly with people and clearly communicate your message?

Whether you are telling a story to a roomful of people or to just one person, this 3-hour workshop is designed to help you take your storytelling ability to the next level.

Participants in this workshop will:

1. Understand the difference between the events of a story versus how you were affected by the event

2. Learn what to include and what not to include to keep your story tight

3. Learn how to leverage emotion to make stories more powerful

4. Understand that powerful stories don’t have to be about big events

5. Learn how to apply your perspective of today to events and emotions of your past

This workshop will help bring your communication and awareness into sharper focus by equipping you with the skills to instantly craft events from your life into a cohesive, interesting, and irresistible narrative…each and every time.
