Inspiring Positive Action Through Storytelling
Virtual Workshop

March 24, 2022 • 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM

We often are left wondering why more people are not attending the onsite and/or online learning opportunities we develop and offer. We also often wonder why lessons we are sharing are not applied in our workplaces. This highly-interactive workshop focuses on using storytelling to attract learners to our onsite and online learning spaces, and to engage those learners in ways that inspire them to immediately begin using what they have learned to the benefit of the organizations and customers they serve. 

Please note: participants are encouraged–but not required–to bring examples of stories they currently use in their marketing and/or learning offerings so we can critique and learn from them.

Takeaways:

  • Demonstrate an ability to apply a learner-centric approach to storytelling in learning
  • Apply basic storytelling techniques to attract learners to what those participants offer in their onsite and online learning spaces
  • Identify and incorporate into your work three storytelling techniques that inspire learners to apply what they are learning


Technology Requirements:

This session will be conducted through Zoom. Log-in instructions will be sent upon registration.
