The Communication Chronicles: Taking Your Business to the Next Level with Successful Storytelling
Stories are part of our daily lives on so many different levels. We tell stories around the table over meals, with clients and colleagues at work, and with our friends and family members. By understanding the art of storytelling and how you can successfully use it when it comes to public and media relations, as well as with your clients, you can keep others engaged and leave them with the excitement of "what comes next" and feel at ease working with you.
As an award-winning journalist for 15+ years, I have had to tell some of the most complicated and complex stories. I faced many challenges trying to communicate important information from scientists, engineers, and astrophysicists (to name a few) into easy-to-understand and relatable stories. I also have worked with companies trying to sell their brand and present it to investors and clients in a way that's informational, engaging, and exciting. In this session, I will share with you personal experience and ways that I have turned the most complex information into a story that's understandable for all ages and backgrounds.
