Story Telling at Work
Story Telling at Work
(How to tug at heart to sell your idea)
With Guest Speaker
Ann Marie Morris,
President of
Train-Your-Talent
As learning professionals, we need to create training that sticks and that gains the support and budget we need for our work. Training should provide experiences that not only tug at the heart strings, but also tug at the purse strings. We all remember our favorite childhood stories, such as The Cat in the Hat. There, we rooted for the hero, laughed at his antics, and held our breath as he wreaked havoc. Others, such as Little Red Riding Hood, left us spellbound with its threats and rescues. All these stories grabbed our imaginations and taught us life lessons.
Stories retain their magic for adults, and make learning come alive, as they motivate and instruct. Come to our session and learn how to use a story to create engaging learning, or to sell your idea, product or service to your client, boss or even a reluctant spouse.
By the end of this program, participants will be able to:
• Learn the three steps for any great story
• Tell an old story a new way
• Craft a story that tugs at heart strings and purse strings
