Story plays an integral part in your brand, delivery, and reach.
If you can’t tell your story, you won't attract those who need your services & would love to support what you’re doing—your potential followers, clients, partners and investors. Storytelling informs your most powerful communication, because it runs deep - it educates, resonates and it sticks. Humans NEED to hear stories, and share stories.
PART ONE: Tuesday 28th June, YTM BONUS Insight; Why storytelling matters to your business?
Stories told coherently from clarity of purpose, principles or as entertainment, act as a conduit to curiosity and truth-seeking to enrich, transform, support and save lives.
From this event you will get 5 top takeaways that you can apply to your business needs:
The science behind why story is our most compelling communication
The importance of purpose and principles in business to inform effective, contextualised storytelling
How to employ clarity and curiosity to enrich and enliven your storytelling and build trust
How to wrap story around your insights, data and statistics, so the facts stick
The story arc and why and how it works
Language, cadence and structure and their role in story craft
