This session will address how to increase the attention and interest level of participants through story-telling. Knowing when and how to position a story to have the greatest impact on driving a point home is essential to effective training. Stories can introduce a topic, support critical teaching points, persuade clients, empower listeners, and influence outcomes. Participants will learn easy steps to building concise and impactful stories. The session is interactive and fun. Albeit voluntary, audience participation is a must.
