INTRO: Storytelling
Stories are a vital part of life. It is one way that we connect our lives to those of our listeners. They let us talk about the subject in an interesting way–metaphorically. In this module you will learn the art and craft of storytelling.
You will learn how to uncover the stories in your life, and how to deliver them with impact. You will be encouraged to use stories from both your professional and personal life. Enjoy!
There are four Lessons in this Module:
Part A: Why Tell Stories
Part B: The Hero’s Journey
Part C: Finding Your Stories
Part D: Bring Your Stories to Life
Each Lesson contains Videos and Tips to introduce the topic, and Worksheets with Action Steps to help you practice.
Congratulations for taking this step to improving your Presentation Skills! I am so excited to be with you on this journey of growth and discovery!
