You would not be in training and learning design and delivery if you are not already a GREAT STORYTELLER. Inherent in what we do is understanding the human mind and behavior. We know people. What moves them? What makes them change their minds? But often we lose this great storyteller skills. We get drowned with PowerPoints, ZOOM, eLearning, authoring tools, platforms, etc.  We forget that at the heart of a trainer and learning expert lies the innate desire to persuade others with great stories. 
 
So, how do you spark, ignite, or rekindle that Great Storyteller in you? 
In this session, Ray will share techniques and exercises that boost your abilities to tell stories and persuade others. You will be refreshed and inspired once you reconnect with that great storyteller in you. 
 
In this session, you will learn:

• What stops most trainers from becoming great storytellers?
• How do you develop a more profound understanding of stories that people love?
• How do you use imagination and visualization to cause your learners to take a “mental and emotional flight”?
• How do you use the basic structure of persuasive stories?
• How do you apply techniques and practices in the persuasive voice, face, physical, setting
• How do you use storytelling in conversations, coaching, virtual events and elearning?
