Quantum storytelling and placing your bets

Wherever we go, we hear stories. Amateurs and professionals tell them because story is the most powerful influencing tool ever devised.

What stories are you telling? What stories is your organisation telling? And, just as crucially, how skilfully are you telling them?

This innovative workshop brings together the rich threads of story-telling that run through our personal, professional and political lives.

What will you learn?

In this workshop we’ll explore what those stories are currently communicating about you. We’ll consider which to encourage and which to quash. We’ll get better stories up and running, so that they serve your interests and make a bigger splash as your audience takes them on, spreading and developing them.

You’ll learn to set the agenda, pose the questions and be first to fillet the answers.

Your stories will appear in conversations, meetings, on websites, in emails; in blogs, books and journals – anywhere you get a chance to express yourself and influence others to take action.

Once upon a time, any story would do. No longer. Audiences have zero tolerance for boredom. And what we are working on is too important to get wrong. You can no longer afford to repel the audiences you need to attract.

About

How we work

We apply the principles of Improvisation (The LIFEPASS Method) and Accelerated Learning to design and deliver our courses. This makes learning new communication skills such as flexibility, confidence, spontaneity and creativity quick and easy to achieve.

By using Improvisation both as a method of training and as part of the content of all of our programmes, people have fun. This opens the gateway to learning and memory, and real change is more likely to take root.

Our programmes are:

Experiential – with people participating interactively
Comprehensive – training is supported with ‘before’, ‘during’ and ‘after’ elements, such as reading, projects and coaching
Blended – with a mixture of live and e-learning

Benefits of our programmes:

Learn communication skills while having fun
Amaze yourself with what you can do
Find new ways to work well with others
Develop confidence in yourself and trust in others
Express yourself more clearly and positively
Rediscover spontaneity and creativity

What’s different?

We make it easy. If you want reliable and positive results, we have creative methods and people with a great track record to serve you. A typical assignment begins with consulting – finding out precisely what you want and designing the best way to deliver it. Then perhaps a series of training events, supported by top facilitators and coaches.

We make it effective. If an inspiring talk will make a significant difference to a conference, an away-day or a launch, we’ll sort that out as well.
