STORYTELLING WORKSHOPS
GAIN INFLUENCE WITH YOUR AUDIENCE
We create relevant and engaging storytellers that inspire their audience for every type of client interaction from demos to executive meetings. Our storytelling workshop is purpose-built for the tech industry because we understand the crucial subtleties needed to connect your story’s message to the business objective of tech clients and prospects.
Are you connecting with emotion?
Emotional connection is the key to a successful demo or presentation. We’ll help you dig into what motivates your prospects’ decisions and help you design stories that connect your solutions to those emotions.
Is your story intentional?
We’ll train you to balance engagement and information — Every word should have a purpose. Make sure you understand your story’s intention and steer the conversation to a focused goal.
Does your story
fit?
Stories that connect with one audience or situation may not resonate with another. We’ll teach you to adapt each story to meet the needs of any audience, prospect, or situation from three-minute-long stories to fifteen-second shorts.

Course Description
Imagine a sales presentation. There are slides with statistics. And logos. And charts. Then the audience goes to another presentation. There are new slides with statistics. And logos. And charts. The audience can’t tell the vendors apart. They forget both presentations. The deals go nowhere.
Facts inform. Emotions persuade. Because humans make decisions emotionally, then justify them rationally. Stories appeal to emotions, but salespeople can be reluctant to tell stories. Here’s the reasons myths. “The audience doesn’t want to hear stories.” “Stories are only for special occasions.” “I’m not a storyteller.” “I don’t have time to tell stories.”
Storytelling2Win debunks these myths. Participants learn how to use stories to connect with audiences. To influence. To persuade. To motivate. To advance deals.
Participants learn how to be agile, influential, and confident storytellers. How to quickly distill the audience’s challenges and objectives into a Big Idea. To clearly illustrate that Big Idea with a story. To thread the story throughout the presentation. And to resonate with different types of audiences.
By the end of the workshop, participants will:
- Develop a “library” of stories and select the right one for each situation.
- Build each component of a story with an effective and repeatable structure.
- Remove extraneous details from stories and make their point in 90 seconds or less.
- Confidently tell stories to diverse audiences in multiple settings and inspire action.
