OUR#PHILOSOPHY#
WE#HELP#LEADERS#BE#BETTER#ORAL#STORYTELLERS.##WE#WANT#THEM#TO#STAND#UP#AND#SPEAK#WITHOUT#POWERPOINT#CRUTCHES.#
BUT,#TO#BE#FRANK,#THIS#CHANGE#DOESN’T#JUST#HAPPEN#FROM#A#SINGLE#WORKSHOP.##We!use!to!see!people!leaving!the!workshop!inspired!!and!fired!up!to!start!using!storytelling,!but!they!would!!get!busy!with!their!jobs!and!forget!to!try!out!storytelling!and!pracLse!the!skill.!
So!we!changed!our!approach!and!developed!a!six!month!program!that!encourages!parLcipants!to!pracLse!their!new!skills!in!the!workplace.!
The!fact!is!the!majority!of!learning!occurs!in!the!workplace!rather!than!the!workshop.!!
IT’S#THIS#FOCUS#ON#PRACTICE#IN##THE#WORKSHOP#AND#OUR#6#MONTH##DELIBERATE#PRACTICE#PROGRAM##THAT#MAKES#THE#DIFFERENCE.#
