Seriously Skilled Storytelling for Leaders, Executives & Professionals

mg_4103-copy-3

Stories bring great value to a speech. They add interest and fun, they “give life” to facts and statistics, they show a concept in action, and most importantly, they help you connect with, engage and inspire an audience. But – they can also be self-serving, drag on endlessly, and frustrate your audience. As a result, knowing which stories will deliver extraordinary meaning – and how to craft them – is essential.

In this session, uncover the story behind not just WHAT you’re selling, but WHY you’re selling it. This helps create an emotional bond that allows you to educate, inspire and persuade your prospects, clients and team to connect with you, which ultimately builds loyalty, and drives action.

In this presentation you’ll learn how to:

  • Find appropriate stories for any situation
  • Discover the value of revisiting your past errors, mistakes, and even failures – and turning them into storytelling gold
  • Implement a business storytelling formula that creates a journey of understanding and engagement for your listener
  • Understand which stories will educate, inspire and persuade

All of Suzannah’s presentations can be delivered as an in-person or virtual workshop, interactive convention breakout session, or a keynote. Content will be customized to the specifics of your company, industry, conference, and audience needs.

  • "Suzannah immediately understood what I was trying to achieve and was able to help me finesse my message so that the audience would be open and engaged. We found ways to weave in stories and analogies that really drove the point home and made it “real” for the audience, and more than that, built a strong level of connection that lasted the entire week of the sales conference."

  • "Suzannah’s training program brought tremendous value as we prepared for our annual user conference this year. The team continues to use what they learned – for thought leadership webcasts, tradeshow speaking engagements and customer presentations. We follow Suzannah’s Diamond speech structure flowchart, which allows us to create strong, engaging presentations faster – and with more focus."
