An interactive Virtual workshop

Open for the Public: Influential Storytelling

 

Leverage the power of story to perfect your presence, build trust, and inspire others.

Storytelling is one of the most important skills a person can develop to inspire others, establish credibility, and build trust.

Most professionals agree that storytelling is an important skill, but many don’t know how to use it, feel vulnerable when they do, and ultimately, find it easier to simply focus on the data and trust the slide deck. But these professionals aren’t the ones that inspire us, compel us to join them, or galvanize organizations. Storytelling is the skill that makes that possible.

Join us at one of our public offerings of the Influential Storytelling workshop, and explore how to leverage the power of story to perfect your presence, build trust, and inspire others.

Format and Objectives

 

The interactive workshop component of our Influential Storytelling Program is periodically offered to the public. We sometimes focus the conversation for specific use cases or roles (like sales conversations or Product Mangers) but the general content is always the same.

The workshop is offered as a synchronous virtual experience in two 2-hour parts with a 15-min homework assignment between them. Content covered in Part 2 builds on Part 1, so plan to attend both parts as a single experience.

The majority of the value comes from participating in the breakout groups, practicing the story you’re working on, and offering feedback to others. For this reason, recordings of the workshop are not available.

 

Part 1

Storytelling and Influence

  • Experience an example of an influential story.

  • Explore the science of influence and the super powers of an influential story.

  • Discuss how best to use storytelling in your specific role or context.

  • Apply the Super Powers of influential storytelling to stories you’ll use in your work.

  • Dissect the elements of story structure as they relate to the Super Powers.

  • Receive actionable feedback on your story that can be applied immediately.


Part 2

Story Delivery

  • Explore story delivery techniques to amplify influence effectiveness.

  • Experiment with story delivery with your own story.

  • Receive actionable feedback on your story that can be applied immediately.

  • Hear several stories from others in the group and learn how they can be used at work.

Great Team Building

I brought Wolf & Heron in for our strategy planning session to help us make the connection between storytelling and building internal support for our goals. Kara and Stephanie took the time to understand our team's agenda ahead of time and connected the workshop to our goals to give us some great ideas for how to use the Super Powers in our day-to-day roles at work. The workshop was fun, challenging, and gave us a great team building experience.
