Workshop: How to Master Storytelling for Better Speaking

What is the absolute most important skill you need in speaking? It is the ability to tell your story and sell your point. This is due to the following truth:

“When people buy into your story, they buy into your message."

In Daniel Pink’s groundbreaking book, A Whole New Mind, he emphasizes we are moving from the “Information Age” into the “Conceptual Age.” People need a way to filter through a daily avalanche of information. Hence, they look to concepts as shortcuts. Who wins in this new age? Those who sell concepts win. What’s the best way to sell concepts? Storytelling.

In this powerful and interactive workshop, Craig Valentine shares tools to help you…

  • Craft your story to keep audiences on the edge of their seats
  • Deliver your story and keep the audience engaged and involved
  • Sell your message so your audience takes the next step

As a result of this groundbreaking workshop, you will become the kind of speaker others line up and sign up to see! This is one interactive workshop you cannot afford to miss! Turn yourself into a storytelling champion.
