Storytelling is a powerful tool for creating connections, communicating an inspiring idea, and creating a compelling vision of the future. Exceptional leaders use stories to convey deeper meaning, reinforce key priorities, and establish stronger engagement with co-workers, customers, and other key constituents. For every leader, the ability to convey a message clearly and effectively through stories can also be critical to solving organizational issues, persuading important stakeholders, or presenting a new idea to C-Suite leaders. A compelling story is memorable, relevant, deeply engaging, and well-told. Through powerful storytelling, leaders can gain buy-in, convey their key messages, and obtain support from key stakeholders while transforming organizations. * A 20 percent discount will be given to companies that enroll two or more employees. * A 30 percent discount will be given to TCU Alumni and TCU Faculty/Staff. * A 10 percent discount will be given to U.S. veterans and employees of non-profit organizations. 1 in-person session September 19, 2024 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM Cost: $995* Certificates will be awarded based on successful completion of the 1-day training.
