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.

Training for professional storytelling

Humans love relationships, magic and captivating stories.

If you already have knowledge of public speaking and have gained experience in giving lectures, speeches, or presentations, this workshop will provide you with additional techniques, impulses, and training opportunities to develop, refine and consolidate your personal communication and presentation style by using storytelling.

Topics

• Refreshing your rhetorical knowledge and skills (minimum level Presentation Skills I)
• Development and construction of effective stories
• The protagonists
• Some examples
• Dramaturgy in storytelling
• Power of emotions
• Addressing the senses
• Target groups, goals, and strategies
• What works and what doesn’t
• Impromptu speech and storytelling
• Practice, practice, practice!

Benefits

You will expand your communication and presentation skills. With the new skills, you will captivate your audience from the very first moment. Even originally boring or incomprehensible statistics, facts, and figures are brought to life by storytelling. As a result, you and your message are compelling in conversations and presentations. Your message gets the chance it deserves.

Target group

Women and men from science, business, and politics who want to improve their rhetorical skills and increase their impact as public speakers – whether in conversations, speeches, or presentations. Story skills are essential for people who want to make their ideas matter.

Methods

Working on your own topics, theory with demos, group work, individual work, role plays, ImproRhetoric™, simulations, exchanging experiences, feedback, audio, and video training.

Preparation of important speeches and presentations

Those who do not speak are not heard, and even those who speak up are not always successful. There are a few more steps that need to be mastered.

Do you want to convince with your message and also as a personality? Then I will help you to prepare your speeches and presentations. You determine the scope. At least, I recommend a test run with professional feedback for you and your message. Then you will know how you and your content are perceived, what you should do, and what you should leave out, where there is potential. Why do you want to get such helpful feedback so late after your real performance? Then it is too late for adjustments. Benefit from the advantage. My definition of luck: Preparation meets opportunity.

You can best estimate for yourself where the effort is worthwhile concerning the expected benefit. Here you will find the fees for my support (communication, psychology, language, structure, voice, body language, storytelling, rhetorical means, media such as PowerPoint and Co., etc.)

You are not in Berlin right now? Then choose meetings with me via telephone or video support. Whereby, there are quite good reasons for a trip to Berlin.

By the way, many people suffer from such intense stage fright in front of an audience, and therefore their performance lags behind their possibilities. Too bad, because with my help performance in a good condition is possible. Just in case...

A good start: Professional feedback with suggestions for improvement​

How persuasive are you and your messages in speeches and presentations? How good are you at the 111+ most important presentation skills? I have been analyzing speeches since 1998. After evaluating 14,375 speeches and presentations, and numerous mistakes of my own, most of which I only discovered after a delay, I can tell you exactly what works with which audience. Let me give you the feedback that will help you get ahead. You will receive essential feedback and recommendations, as well as the impulses you need to persuade your audience in concrete situations.

Are you interested? If so, here is how to get helpful feedback with recommendations for improving your speeches and presentations.

Your travel companion

Since 1998 I support people in presenting themselves and their message convincingly – in conversations and presentations. Sharing my experiences about professional storytelling is a pleasure. I do everything I can to ensure that you and your message leave a lasting impression on your audience. Benefit from my experiences in marketing, psychology, and communication skills.
