This program will provide you with a disciplined approach to understanding:

• What story you want to tell
• How to build a better story
• How to deliver it in a way that will engage your audiences and convert them to your understanding.

This session includes:

• Understanding what is a story;
• Analysing who your audience will be;
• How to decide what story you should be telling them;
• Investigating the information you have and deciding what are the key elements to support the story you want to build.

Template tools will be provided to analyse the audience and the key elements that should make up your story. For example, we will provide a storyline template tool describing the six elements of any good story, and a template for deciding the type of story to be told.

This session includes:

• Understanding the elements of a good story;
• Identifying what you are really trying to say;
• Understanding what not to say;
• Structural story building (beginning, content, engagement, reinforcement, drama, conclusion ); and
• The three acts of all good stories.

Template tools will help build structural elements, and define your stories using three acts.

Understanding what is storytelling - a little theory, lots of examples on the way stories are developed and structured.

Analysing and decision making - how to identify the key data around which the story will be anchored, how to structure support data and information to make the story richer, while not distracting

Story structuring is a discipline that requires skills and techniques. We will share tools for identifying what is the right story, and to develop the story structure.

Adapting a story to delivery format and audience - we will provide examples of how to identify how to moderate a story for different audiences, identifying how to change and articulate.
