Business Storytelling Workshops for Professionals, Leaders and CXO’s
Learn the Art and Science of Storytelling to increase the impact of your communication and your ability to influence, persuade and inspire others.
Storytelling has the power to engage, influence, teach and inspire listeners. That’s the reason we at Mentora strongly advocate the corporates to build a storytelling skills training culture and make storytelling workshop online or in-person, the heart of their learning and development programs. There’s an art to telling a good story, and we all know a good story when we hear one. But there’s also a science behind the art of storytelling skills.
Confusing!!
Whether Storytelling is an art that can be learnt or a science that can be reproduced or is it both?
“Researchers have found that the human brain has a natural affinity for narrative construction,” science journalist Benedict Carey wrote in New York Times Magazine. “People tend to remember facts more accurately if they encounter them in a story rather than in a list, studies find; and they rate legal arguments as more convincing when built into narrative tales rather than on legal precedent.”
Take for example, you have attended a long strategic meet where lots of facts and figures are presented with some stories here and there. When asked, the participants afterwards, just 5% could recite a statistic while 63% remembered the story.
Research also shows our brains are not hard-wired to understand logic or retain facts for very long. Our brains are wired to understand and retain stories.
Storytelling is about the exchange of ideas, about growth – and that’s learning. That’s why we believe that it’s important that we embed storytelling skills training in our corporate cultures and in our learning and development workshops. In our Business Storytelling workshops we work on range of stories from ancient scriptures to modern Indian corporate stories. Our storytelling trainings are packed with practical business case studies.
Ultimately, Storytelling Workshops are essential for Business. If you’re trying to engage, influence, teach, or inspire others, you should be telling or listening to a story, and encouraging others to tell a story with you. You’ll have plenty of science to back you up.
Why wait, call us to book your storytelling trainings online or in-person.
