Life Story Work provides individuals with the opportunity to talk about their life experiences, memories and hopes for the future and record this in a creative way. It is a process that enables someone with an illness like dementia to reconnect with the important people and events across their life
This weekend will unravel the secrets of the storyteller’s craft and allow you to experiment with an array of key writing techniques to deepen your understanding of the stories you want to tell and how to tell them.Â
Data-driven information tends to speak to people’s intellect – while stories stir their imagination and reach their feelings.
Storytelling is an innately human way of communicating but, for some reason, we don’t apply this to business messaging. We stay focused on facts and data – not understanding that stories are the most effective way to engage and persuade.
With hands-on exercises and expert insights, you'll master techniques to engage, persuade, and leave a lasting impression. Transform your marketing strategy through the art of storytelling.
