which are short, engaging and immersive.

they’ve learned and take the stage in front of a willing
audience - the ultimate test of story-telling awaits as they

Overview|
This work shop then goes on to share knowledge and
skills from the world of theatre to allow delegates to be
the best communicators they can possibly be. Actors
spend years preparing their voice and body before they
even start to ‘act’. They learn that preparation of
themselves is as critical to a good performance as it is
to understand the content they are delivering.
Delegates will end this section equipped with critical
tools to enable them to be better prepared, have a
greater understanding of themselves, and tune into
how they can come across.

Overview|
We have all suffered “Death by PowerPoint”. How can you
make sure your staff aren’t inflicting it on their clients and
prospects? The short answer is: “storytelling”.
Our brains don’t respond well to traditional presentation
techniques – like lists of bullet points. Our brains do
respond well to stories. We find it much easier to follow a
presentation that has a story-like structure, in which each
slide joins together to form a cohesive whole. And we’re
far more ready to agree with someone who communicates
to us in this way.
Traditional presentation training tells us to be clear about
what we want to say. But storytelling isn’t just about the
content of your story. It’s also about engaging your
audience. The true key to successful communication lies in
understanding your audience – their needs and wants.
This workshop explains how to structure a presentation
based on audience needs, so that you can win them over
quickly.
Writing Storytelling Presentations will equip your staff
with simple, easily-understood storytelling techniques that
will make their presentations much clearer – more
interesting and enjoyable for their audiences.

repeatedly practice and refine the delivery. Each cycle
contains group feedback and one-to-one coaching.

system to trigger the relaxation response – a
