Stories are really useful. It’s no wonder we’ve been telling them for literally thousands of years. When we tell stories today, we’re following age-old patterns of thinking that help us structure our thoughts, that help us remember what we need to cover more easily, and that make it easier for listeners to get the message we want to convey - but it’s not something we automatically think of when preparing to present ourselves at interviews, or give presentations. Stories are based on structures that have stood the test of time – they go back beyond the invention of writing. They have wisdom in them. Learn more about story through structure and you’ll get in touch with a level of knowledge that – if only you knew it – was there all along. Learn how to access that knowledge to enhance the way you approach telling your story in your personal and professional life. This is a 30–45 minute talk which can be followed by up to 30 minutes of audience Q&A.
