Description
Have you ever met someone new and had no idea what to say?
Does giving critical feedback make you so uncomfortable that you want to crawl out of your skin?
Does the idea of presenting to a room full of people tie your stomach in knots?
Being an effective leader means being able to communicate with confidence, even under pressure. And the most powerful tool for communication is storytelling. In business, your story determines your success. It’s what you say to your team, your clients…and even yourself.
In this engaging workshop, Rachel will empower you to craft a story that resonates with the hearts and minds of your colleagues and clients. With strategic storytelling, you can transform yourself into a confident speaker and unforgettable leader.
Laugh and learn:
- understand the psychology behind strategic storytelling...so you can take full advantage of it!
- speak with calm, confidence and credibility
- position yourself as the go-to expert in your field
- give constructive feedback with confidence
- sell yourself and your skills...without bragging!
