Powerful Storytelling: messages that motivate -
our In-house Workshop
Do you want to:
- Attract higher quality customers to your business?
- Present technical or business information simply and memorably?
- Improve internal communications?
- Lead rather than just manage your team or organization?
And would you like to find simple and powerful ways to motivate and persuade other people of your ideas, strategies and arguments?
Powerful Storytelling
Powerful Storytelling is our in-house workshop designed for anyone who needs the skills to communicate more deeply, emotionally, and powerfully with their audience. By the end of the workshop they will be able to:

- understand how to use stories, framing and images powerfully and creatively; and
- create stories using StoryWorks skills to inspire themselves, their organisations and their clients
Powerful Storytelling is the workshop ‘twin’ of Persuasive Writing. Both workshops are modular so that organisations can choose the writing and stroytelling techniques and skills from each workshop that they need and will find most valuable.
