Introduction to Business Storytelling

It’s the biggest challenge in business communication: making your message, data, points or ideas stick in people’s minds. And to do so strongly enough they are convinced of their merit and motivated to take action. This training shows you how a story structure can help your audience to easily remember all your important points, in meetings, presentations and conversations.

Training overview

Business storytelling techniques help people to understand the reasons behind your ideas and clearly see the benefits of following them. You get the ability to turn complex information into concise, compelling data with a memorable narrative that your clients, colleagues, prospects and stakeholders will buy into. 

Our ‘PRO’ storytelling method can be applied to any kind of presentation to give it the structure to reel people in and provoke the reaction you want, expect and deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have any questions? We’re here to help

Can I customise my training to include multiple courses?

We are happy to build a training solution that fits your time, budget, and goals.

How do I prepare for a training session?

Our Client Services team will liaise with you to ensure all the timings, logistics and room/tech requirements are agreed ahead of the event. We also ask all delegates to complete a short questionnaire to help us understand individual challenges and goals. For some of our courses, we’ll ask you to bring a short presentation to work on. Otherwise, we just ask you to come with an open mind and be willing to learn.

What happens after I complete a training session?

We provide detailed workbooks for the training and encourage delegates to fill them in and refer to their notes regularly after the session. We also have a suite of blogs, podcasts and videos to support the learning.

What is included in with On-Demand training?

You’ll have access to your training instantly, anywhere in the world, at any time for a 3-month period, along with a digital PDF workbook to download. We also include an audiobook with 7 hours of additional content to deepen your learning.

What is the difference between one, two and three-day courses?

Simply, additional modules and learning plus more coaching time. We understand that time and budget are sometimes limited, so we offer one-day courses to provide a valuable foundation. Adding on additional days allows you to dive deeper into communication and presentation skills through advanced body language and managing difficult conversations to questioning, listening, and peak performance mindset. We are happy to tailor the training to meet your budget, time and goals.

What is the ratio of trainers to learners?

This depends on the type of training you’re looking at. For group training, our ratio is typically one trainer to four delegates; this allows for plenty of individual coaching and feedback. Our masterclasses are generally hosted by one presenter and up to 100 people.
