Course Overview

We dive into the world and history of impactful spoken storytelling. You’ll identify your key priorities and objectives, assess your current use of storytelling, and identify areas where it could enhance communication.

Create your own personal manifesto. In week two we will be creating your very own personal brand manifesto through reflective exercises and practical activities that define your vision, mission, and values. You'll identify what drives you and articulate your long-term goals, allowing this manifesto to serve as a compass for decision-making and communication in both business and personal contexts, ensuring your actions align with your core values.

Learn how to craft compelling pitches by aligning your unique strengths and personal stories with effective communication techniques. Through self-reflection exercises and hands-on practice, you’ll develop and refine pitches for real-world scenarios - whether it’s for interviews, presentations, personal projects, or to inspire and connect with others. By the end of this session, you’ll feel more confident in sharing your ideas and influencing those around you, no matter the setting.

By the end of this session you’ll know how to craft and deliver stories that resonate. Through a series of practical exercises we will cover key storytelling techniques. Through interactive exercises, you will practise active listening and develop personal stories to inspire, motivate, and communicate more effectively. By the end, you’ll be equipped to tell compelling stories that build trust, hold attention, and enhance communication. 

Want to know how to capture and hold your audience's attention? Together we will learn how to refine and structure stories for greater impact and clarity. We will start by defining the core message of your story and how to tailor it to different audience's needs and expectations. Through storyboarding and feedback, you will map out a compelling narrative. We will also work on editing language to ensure clarity, vividness, and alignment with your objectives.

In this session, we’ll confront the common fear of public speaking by placing you centre stage—metaphorically speaking. We'll share and practice techniques to help you communicate confidently with your audience. This will be the culmination of the past five weeks of hard work, as you share your stories out loud, receive feedback on clarity and emotional impact, and refine your presentation skills through practical activities.
