Mastering Storytelling
for Better Speaking
What is the absolute most important skill you need in
speaking? It is the ability to tell your story and sell your point.
This is due to the following truth:
“When people buy into your story, they buy into your message.
In Daniel Pink’s groundbreaking book, A Whole New Mind, he emphasizes we are
moving from the “Information Age” into the “Conceptual Age.” People need a way
to filter through a daily avalanche of information. Hence, they look to concepts as
shortcuts. Who wins in this new age? Those who sell concepts win. What’s the best
way to sell concepts? Storytelling.
In this powerful and interactive program, Craig Valentine shares tools to help you…
• Keep audiences on the edge of their seats with your stories
• Uncover humor that keeps your audience laughing throughout the speech
• Connect deeper than most speakers ever will
• Get your audience to take the next step you want them to take (connect and
convert)
• Become the kind of speaker others line up and sign up to see
This is one interactive program you cannot afford to miss! Turn yourself into a
storytelling champion and watch as opportunities become abundant for you.
