Make sure the people who speak for your organisation know how to tell a story
Not all stories are told in film, photos or the written word, some are told in the spoken word. Our verbal storytelling training can make those stories shine.
Many people who come into contact with an organisation do so as a result of listening to staff, volunteers and clients speaking. But all too often, nerves, the wrong focus or lack of colourful details can result in opportunities to engage, inspire and influence being missed.
Meetings, events and media interviews are all ways to communicate impact through stories. We train corporate spokespeople, those on the frontline and people talking about their own personal experiences to ensure they have the confidence and techniques to be excellent verbal storytellers.
