PROGRAMME
Our Art Of Storytelling programme was born from delivering hundreds of our original ‘Kissing With Confidence’ presentation skills programme to tens of thousands of delegates over more than two decades.
The feedback of senior leadership teams across the world has underpinned its evolution, along with the experience of our co-founder Russell’s years of debating at the highest level with Junior Chamber International – where he won the Scottish title six times and judged the World Debating Final in Las Vegas. Storytelling is quite literally in our DNA.
Humans make emotional decisions and back them up with facts. Data and detail are important, but getting the right information to stay long in the memory is about more than slides (in fact, it’s never about the slides).
In today’s fast-paced, hybrid world you have more opportunity but less time to make the emotional connection. Effective storytelling – whether you have 30 seconds, three minutes or 30 minutes – is one of the most important leadership skills.
You’ll be more credible, visible and memorable with the Art of Storytelling journey, where you will:
The Art of Storytelling is designed so those who already speak in public can hone their skills and actually enjoy public speaking. The Art of Storytelling will take you from nervousness to anticipation, allowing you to walk into every story or presentation knowing you’re going to ‘wow’ your audience.
This programme will transform how you speak and think. Creating a story that fits your purpose and works for your audience starts with creative thinking. Then you must marshal your thoughts and structure them effectively; there will be times when you need to defend your position.
All of this comes before delivery, but that iterative preparation process is the essential precursor to a brilliant performance.
In a creative, interactive, small group workshop – how to conceive, create, construct and deliver narratives that are uniquely you… and always memorable
Through expert one-to-one mentoring immediately after the group workshop – how to take your storytelling abilities to new heights
After one month, in a small group check-in workshop – you’ll show off storytelling skills with expert peer review feedback
You can have it in the room, live online or hybrid.
And for all KWC Global programmes, you will have access to the KWCWONDERWALL. The Wonderwall if our participant portal, filled with interactive, inspirational takeaways and other resources, allows delegates to continue their independent, self-directed learning and ensuring delivery is interacting, challenging, and outcome-focussed.
This programme is for every senior manager and executive, because you spend up to 75% of your professional lives speaking in public. You want to be more than effective when the floor is yours: you want to be fantastic.
You’ll already be an effective communicator and good public speaker, but know that average is not good enough (who wants 4/6 in the conference feedback?).
This is for everyone who knows that persuading an audience by making the emotional connection whilst speaking with clarity, focus and power, is one of leadership’s essential and differentiating skills.
