Vic Storyteller Kate Lawrence learned of this course
and thought it was worth sharing. We do a lot of swapping of information on
Facebook but not all of us like connecting via FB so here it is for the
bloggers.
Thanks for sharing Kate.
Storytelling for Change
(This free course involves working
in teams either on line or face to face if possible as well as some individual
assignments.)
Acumen and The Ariel Group have created a
hands-on course to help you develop your practical skills as a storyteller.
Whether you work in an office making presentations in the boardroom, as a
teacher with 30 to 300 students, interacting with customers, or one-on-one with
individuals, using the elements of story bring you closer to your
audience.
Using stories makes your messages
memorable, gives your audience something to relate to, and above all captures
their attention, motivating and inspiring them in new ways. A story taps into
more than one element of communicating. Great storytellers are great
communicators and effective leaders.
Acumen believes that storytelling is an
essential tool for changing the way the world tackles poverty because it starts
with changing conversations around what we see, hear, feel and know to be true.
Change leaders see the world’s potential, and tell powerful stories that
inspire action.
