What's included?
Hosted on the widely used and respected LearnWorlds platform, our unique course covers the essentials for using story in a leadership context:
Module One: the neuroscience foundations underpinning the power of story.
Module Two: using character with impact.
Module Three: how to use the structure of story in various situations.
Module Four: origin story: the ultimate connection-maker.
Module Five: how to shape influential stories of change.
Module Six: delivering stories well.
Module Seven: action planning for ongoing learning.
Story is a human capability that needs human interaction to bed in the learning. We'll run a live briefing session to prepare everyone for the course, and then on completion we'll host another live Q&A session to run through any questions that your leaders have as they start to implement what they've learned. We can also offer a dedicated online forum for anyone to share their experiences with their peers.
