In a business world awash with messages, leaders more than ever need to be effective at communicating memorable, impactful messages that cut through this communication tsunami. Business stories are a communication style proven to be extremely effective at communicating compelling messages; particularly useful when communicating positive change messages.

The practices and principles shared in the workshop are easily absorbed. It’s a hands-on workshop that will give you plenty of opportunity to create and test business stories with the group and collect constructive feedback along the way. Once the fundamentals are in place, you will use AI tools to turbo charge the creation, and improve the quality of your business stories.
