Connecting Stories to Storylines
Driving Impact with Memorable Messages & Repeatable Stories
Everyone is a storyteller whether you’re on a stage, across a conference table, or on a video conference. Impactful presentations leverage the power of storylines to reach an objective. The best approach is to start with a compelling message, and then learn to develop a storyline that proves it out. The storyline itself is the framework of communication or the flow of ideas. Specific stories are tied to specific points within the storyline. Good data points align with the brain, and good stories align with the heart. Presenters who can engage both head and heart have a much greater chance of getting results.
TRAINING OVERVIEW: SW&A’s Connecting Stories to Storylines is a one-day or virtual program that introduces and coaches the fundamentals of a storyline and a story.
The morning introduces core concepts of storylines and involves each participant in learning a concept and applying it to a sample scenario. In the afternoon, participants explore how stories bring key points to life by adding the elements of storytelling that are most memorable and repeatable to listeners. While most of the day focuses on the structure of storylines and stories, the afternoon wraps with discovery of the storyteller’s style and ability to bring ideas to life.
Key Components:
• Understanding Listener Expectations
• Developing a Storyline & Framework
• Creating a Powerful Message
• Crafting & Telling Compelling Stories
• Driving Memorable & Repeatable Outcomes
