Storytelling Training for Presentations
Weak story? Unclear message? Our Storytelling Training helps sales teams, marketers, managers, and leaders craft impactful presentations that inspire action – regularly in Madrid, Amsterdam, and Hamburg, and on request as an in-house training for companies.
What You’ll Learn
- Use the Hero’s Journey to structure persuasive presentations that move audiences to action.
- Create a powerful contrast between what is and what could be to spark curiosity and interest.
- Frame your message clearly: define the problem, show the path, and highlight the payoff.
- Practical exercises to turn your own topic into a compelling hero narrative.
How the Structure Works
Like any good story, your presentation follows an introduction, a main section, and a conclusion:
- Introduction – Call to Adventure: Describe the audience’s familiar world (the current state) and the core challenge. Create shared understanding and set up the contrast between today and a better tomorrow.
- Main Section – Overcoming Obstacles: Resolve the tension you created in the intro. Alternate between key challenges and clear, actionable solutions. Equip your “hero” with tools, knowledge, and next steps.
- Conclusion – Call to Action: Reaffirm your big idea, recap the key actions, and reassure the audience that the goal is worth it—and achievable.
Who It’s For
Ideal for sales and marketing teams, project managers, leaders, and anyone who wants to move an audience to take action.
Format & Availability
- Interactive workshop with hands-on exercises and direct feedback.
- Regularly in Madrid, Amsterdam, and Hamburg.
- Online delivery available for distributed teams.
- On request as an in-house training for companies.
