Professional storytelling (consulting, coaching, group and individual training in Berlin & online)

Training for professional storytelling

Many of the things we say to sound expert and dazzling actually distance our audience. Storytelling is one of the most powerful ways of conveying even complex messages and keeping them in the audience’s memory. It is a skill you can learn. In this training, you will learn how to do this in a professional context. The workshop or individual training for professional storytelling is dedicated to the development, optimization, and use of effective stories.

Overview

People don’t buy what you do, they buy how you make them feel and the story you give them to tell.

Storytelling: Stories that work for you

Do you have trouble making yourself noticed in a noisy world?
Don’t your ideas get the attention they deserve?
Are you looking for a way to reach and move more of the right people?
Are you tired of constantly fighting for attention?

What if, instead of finding ways to stay one step ahead of your competition, you gave people reasons to choose you?

Oddly, we can spend years developing groundbreaking ideas, products, and services or gathering expertise – but we don’t automatically develop the skills that allow us to share the value of our ideas and our impact with the world. I can help you change that and enable you to do what the best communicators and organizations do.

Stories are one of the most effective ways to communicate messages effectively. Storytelling has proven to be a powerful tool. It removes many barriers, such as the science of research and the language of business, politics and everyday life.

However, the knowledge and skills that go with it are still largely underestimated in practice. The stories already exist, you can tell them with the appropriate tools and my assistance.

Humans love relationships, magic and captivating stories.

Your message gets the chance it deserves.

Preparing Important Speeches and Presentations

The Art of Effective Communication

Those who do not speak are not heard, and even those who do speak are not always successful. True success in communication requires mastering a few additional, critical steps to ensure your message resonates.

Make Your Message Shine

Do you want your message to be convincing and your personality to shine? I can help you prepare your speeches and presentations to achieve exactly that. Whether you need comprehensive guidance or just a few tweaks, you decide the level of support that fits your needs. At a minimum, I recommend a test run with professional feedback to fine-tune both your delivery and your content. This helps you understand how you and your message are perceived, identify what works well, and determine areas for improvement.

Why Wait for Feedback?

Why wait until after your real performance to receive valuable feedback, when it's too late to adjust? Early preparation is key. As the saying goes: 'Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.' With thorough preparation, you will not only feel more confident but will also be well-equipped to make a lasting impact.

Tailored Support to Fit Your Goals

You can decide where the effort is most worthwhile, based on the expected benefits. I offer support covering all areas of effective communication, including psychology, language, structure, voice, body language, storytelling, rhetorical techniques, and the use of media like PowerPoint. My goal is to help you deliver a well-rounded, impactful presentation.

Flexible Meeting Options

Not in Berlin? No problem. We can meet via telephone or video call. Of course, visiting Berlin can also be an enriching experience, and I am happy to welcome you here.

Overcome Stage Fright

Many people struggle with intense stage fright, which can cause their performance to fall short of its true potential. With my guidance, you can overcome these challenges and deliver your best possible performance. Together, we'll turn anxiety into confidence, ensuring that your message and personality shine through.
