Creating Compelling Stories
Creating Compelling Stories
All leaders and presenters want to connect and engage with their followers and audience. One of the key ways of doing this is through telling stories. A leader or presenter who can get their point across in the form of a story, connects and engages on a much deeper level than by giving facts and figures alone. Better still, storytellers can subconsciously influence those around them in a positive way. Stories tap into our deepest emotions, which helps us retain the key message at the story's heart. You probably know all of this - but how do we go about telling stories if we are not naturally creative?
In this short session I will share with you:
*A simple step by step thought process to help you identify a personal experience that you can use and turn into a story.
*A structure for your story that delivers your key message in a compelling fashion.
By following these two elements, you will be able to create personal stories that deliver your key messages.

How to Feel More Confident in Any Situation
How to Feel More Confident in Any Situation
When we're struggling to find the confidence to do something, we don't take risks. We play it safe. We avoid looking stupid. And when we have no choice but to face it, it can give us away by our behaviour, our body language, our voice or what we say.
The good news is that confidence really can be learned and built on.
In this short session, we will look at how to develop that feeling of confidence in situations where it escapes you. We'll look at why you are lacking confidence and how to address it. We'll also work through some simple techniques to help you take those bold steps forward and find your confident self.
