Our brains seem to be hardwired for story. We binge watch our favorite shows or find ourselves unable to put a book down because we all love a good story. Yet storytelling is often left out of the office and boardrooms. Facts and figures have their place, but they seldom inspire or gain buy-in from colleagues or investors.
In this class, you’ll learn how to utilize storytelling techniques that can help your startup or project pitch as well as your presentations at work or on a conference stage.
We’ll have an opportunity to practice your pitches or presentations and offer a supportive space for constructive feedback from the instructor and your fellow students.
