Communicating with Pride and Joy

How to Discover, Develop and Deliver Powerful Stories

Using stories can help you create a more powerful impact when you speak, as you share memorable lessons from your own life experiences. If you're not a natural-born storyteller, there is good news! While storytelling is an art, it's also a learned skill. This means that speakers, trainers, consultants and business professionals can learn how to find, develop and deliver powerful stories.

The right story, well positioned and well told, can help you:

  • Form a bond with your audience
  • Influence that audience to buy into your concepts and ideas
  • Help your listeners recall and reflect on their own life experiences
  • Enable them to connect with you as they realize you're alike, not different

In this entertaining and content rich session, Jean will show you how to find your stories from significant moments in your life that hold lessons you have learned and can share with others.

Participants will develop skills and competencies to:

  • Craft powerful stories from their own life experiences and daily events
  • Discover universal themes that others can apply to their own challenges
  • Develop a structure and format to apply to every story
  • Deliver their stories with impact
  • Create pictures the audience can visualize, and draw them into those pictures
  • Avoid several common mistakes that can ruin any story
  • Create "AHA" moments for every audience every time they speak
  • Maintain a sense of personal accountability to every audience

This session can qualify for CEUs, contact hours and education credits.

"I was astonished at how easily and effectively you were able to take the events that I relayed to you and turn them into an amazing story. The process you taught me has enabled me to find stories in places I never expected."

Sharyn Scheyd, speaker and workshop leader
