LSN Wednesday Storytelling – Shownotes

 

How to create stories that hook people emotionally and earn learner attention and engage their emotions so that training turns into action?

As L&D people we tell stories all the time, to explain to a participant how he might improve, or to inspire a reflection exercise, or to connect learning to life lessons.


Storytelling is an essential skill, but what makes a compelling story in a business context? And how can you improve your ability to tell stories that persuade and teach?

During this Learn Something New Wednesday, Sage Media discusses how to:

  • Avoid the pitfalls that commonly arise when crafting stories for learning, how to overcome the risks, and ultimately create your "happily-ever-after".
  • Develop your own powerful stories.
  • How to begin building and strengthening your creative storytelling talents.
