Corporate storytellers—from the CEO to the trainer in the classroom—recognize that people are motivated to reach goals, achieve higher performance, and collaborate with others when their hearts open through the common humanity of stories. If you are searching for secrets to increase learning transfer and organizational impact, join this interactive, experiential session designed to help you integrate storytelling into your training initiatives. You may tell stories to increase engagement and retention in the classroom; debrief experiential exercises; explain, illustrate, and illuminate critical concepts; help learners frame their experiences; build commitment to an organizational vision; help work teams collaborate; and build deeper intrapersonal awareness for personal growth and effectiveness. In this playful and practical session, you will take away techniques that enhance personal reflection, team cohesion, and organizational success. The speaker will draw upon her background in theater direction and storytelling in learning design.
