Weekend Language Storytelling Workshop
Brain science shows that stories are the most meaningful and most memorable form of communication. But not just any story works. That’s why workshop participants explore numerous forms of storytelling – from examples and personal anecdotes to analogies and back stories to personas and imagine scenarios – to find the one that best delivers their idea. Thousands of executives, engineers, developers, scientists, sales people, doctors, educators and marketers around the world have used the curriculum to help them craft story-based narratives. For presentations, elevator speeches, sales pitches, customer and internal meetings, marketing messaging and campaigns, and with written materials.
Weekend Language Presentation Coaching
Presentations to small groups and large audiences must be crisp and consist of more than walking your audience through your PowerPoint slides or a list of products and services. So our presentation coaching sessions involve a lot of on-camera practice – followed by playback, coaching and critique. We place a priority on helping executives craft verbal narratives that are easy for their audiences to understand, follow and remember long after the meeting concludes. Only then do we attack vocal and non-verbal communication. We run 1:1 multi-session “personal trainer” programs for senior executives; two-day intensive workshops for groups of senior executives; small and large group training sessions; remote coaching via Zoom & Skype; and recorded tutorials for corporate customers.
Weekend Language Media Training
Get to the point, tell a good story, get quoted, handle tough questions. These are the essentials of dealing with print, social media and broadcast reporters. And it takes a lot of work to get it right. That’s why we build our sessions around mock interviews that simulate the type of Q&A you’ll experience from reporters regardless of medium. We videotape these mock interviews for coaching and critique.
