Ever hear someone telling a story that goes “…and then… and then… and then… and then…?” Just because it was an unforgettable experience for the speaker doesn’t mean the audience will remember it let alone carry the meaning with them the next day.
What’s your story? Do you know how to tell it? What parts to leave out? When to “kill your darlings?” How to introduce characters your audience will care about and relate to? Why it’s important to build conflict? And then escalate it? Which tested storytelling templates you can use to create maximum impact?
In this storytelling workshop, you’ll learn tips to make people sit up and listen. You’ll practice techniques for crafting stories that your audience will remember.
Note: This workshop is a preview of the Toastmasters workshop – “Unpack Your Story” – that Bob Mohl and Dyane Neiman will lead at the joint District conference in Athens in May.
“Speak louder, we do not hear you.” Have you ever spoken too softly? Too strong? Too fast? Too slowly? The lecturer and voice coach, Hervé Pata, offers us an exceptional workshop on voice: how it expresses our personality, what it says about us, how can we use it to inspire, motivate, move or convince our audience.
Come and enjoy his exceptional presence in the Division A conference!
For registrations on 26 April 2018, until the day of the conference
