Storytelling as an influencing skill - a mini workshop
Your host (Andrew Thorp) explains:
INTRODUCING THE MULTI-STORY CLUB
The Multi-Story Club (MSC) is an informal gathering of people who want to develop their influencing skills through what I call ‘storytelling’. This is a way of framing a message so it truly lands with your audience, whether from the stage or in conversation. In essence, it's about how to connect.
These short 90-minute meetings complement my online Storytelling Course (https://andrew-thorp-academy.thinkific.com/courses/applied-storytelling), which encapsulates pretty much everything I’ve been teaching in my 15 years as a coach and trainer in the business world.
You don’t have to enrol on the course to attend the meetings, but combining both is the most effective route to success. The events are open to the public on payment of an entry fee, and a reduced fee applies to members of the Multi-Story Club (message Andrew for details).
At each MSC event we’ll explore a single sub-topic within the Storytelling Course (https://andrew-thorp-academy.thinkific.com/courses/applied-storytelling) - for example:
using humour
how to use your voice
making a dry topic interesting
building a story library
the power of the metaphor
These discussions are facilitated by me and typically include demonstrations, a chance to practise, Q&A and the occasional special guest.
