with Carl Pritchard
Closed Captioning available in English
Overview
2+ Hours of Video Instruction
To stand out in your career, you need to be able to tell—and sell—a story.
We all have stories to tell, but being able to take others along for the ride is the challenge to be overcome. Drawing on the power of the stories themselves, this course provides the means to take stories—your own or from other sources--and weave them into any situation, from a business case to a software user story.
You will learn how to identify which elements of your stories can become applicable in almost any setting and the importance of weaving a metaphor through a presentation. By the end of this course, you’ll know how to determine when it’s appropriate to move on to other topics in order to leave your audience wanting more.
Carl Pritchard, engaging speaker and journalist with over 40 years of experience telling stories, dives into the key skills you need to become an effective storyteller who can draw in your audience and get your point across—every time.
