Programme Overview
“Storytelling” is the language our human brains use to make sense of the world as stories speak to the heart. Stories enable people to give meaning to their existence, pass on knowledge, change behavior, and understand their history and future. Our brains simultaneously activate up to seven areas at once while listening to stories. The brain’s image processing zone works 60,000 times faster than the language processing zone during storytelling sessions. Since stories are how people naturally communicate, it makes stories a powerful and effective means of connecting, persuading, influencing, and leading people.

Programme Objective
The course is designed with the following specific objectives and learning outcomes:

  • To understand the various simple techniques of storytelling.
  • Practice the art of connection stories (forming bonds with listeners); influence stories (change opinions and overcome objections); Clarity Stories (past context, change and its impact, new behaviors needed, and future actions and success factors
  • To apply this practice in various business contexts and hone the art of developing stories to influence, persuade and change diverse stakeholders

Programme Content
This is a hands-on, practice-oriented course and hence designed as a workshop. This program will actively involve the students, who will learn the technique of storytelling by practicing multiple times, on each of the themes in the class. The program will cover the concepts of storytelling, elements and techniques of effective storytelling, and use of humor. With concepts and techniques understood, the program will focus on crafting stories to shape values, influence and persuade, tell stories on backgrounds of data, build rapport and overcome objections.

Key Benefits/Takeaways
Business Storytelling enables professionals to develop the skills and strategies to transform dry professional messages into emotionally engaging, credibility-enhancing experiences that inspire meaning, belief, and action.

The special tools, techniques, and structures in this program will help participants bring the power of stories into their day-to-day business communication.
