Storytelling enables us to motivate, inspire and change behaviour in others. It is a vital part of leadership at all levels. RPfT uses storytelling techniques to help participants become more engaging in their communication and develop their own unique style.

Stories capture the emotion of the narrative and allow others to access it too. Many would argue the human memory itself is story-based and because of this, we’re more likely to remember a message when storytelling techniques are used. For example, when we approach a presentation through storytelling, facts gain meaning and messages are given a visual dimension which is accessible to all.

The storytelling techniques we teach include:

•     Learning how to structure your narrative
•     Creating dramatic tension within the story
•     Learning how to adapt your story to suit your audience and occasion
•     Using your voice and body language to connect with your audience
•     Learning breathing techniques to manage your nerves
•     Adding humour for maximum impact
