As communicators, we are bombarded with study after study attesting to the power of stories to move and persuade audiences. Stories humanize us. They put a face on an issue. They give life to data. And they help us connect with and relate to audiences in a way that everyday words cannot.
But what exactly goes into a good story? And how can you find, shape and tell powerful stories that will win hearts and change minds?
This engaging, informative lunch program unlocks the secrets of storytelling to help you:
- Strengthen your clients’ programming
- Build trust with your (and your clients’) target audiences
- Network more effectively
- Win business and gain approval of your programs and budgets
- Get more of what you want out of life and work
The presentation itself is full of compelling stories and anecdotes from the world of business and entertainment, which is the source of some of the most powerful stories in our culture. It will be given by professional speaker and author Rob Biesenbach from Chicago, and it’s based on Rob’s first book, Act Like You Mean Business, published by Brigantine Media. Rob is also a Second City trained actor.

- The important science behind the power of storytelling
