StoryTelling Skills for Organisational Change

Overview


Stories are an extremely powerful communication tool it sticks not only to the head but more importantly, touched the hearts of others.

Why is the art of storytelling so important your business?

Because you can’t just order people to “be more creative” or to “get motivated” or to “start loving your job.” The human brain doesn’t work that way at all.
You can however, LEAD them there with a good story. You can’t even successfully order people to “follow the rules” because nobody like to read the rulebook. But people will read a good story about a guy who broke the rules and got fired, or a woman who followed the rules and got a raise.

Storytelling is indeed a powerful medium of change. It is a wonderful leadership tool, and when used in precise manner, can influence minds.  Storytelling can persuade, inspire and motivate people significantly. They bring positive changes in the way people think and work.

What exactly works in the storytelling? 

We use stories as metaphors because they are one of the most powerful ways for influence and persuasion. Telling stories as metaphors is an art that can to be mastered, to get accurate results in influencing.

How Storytelling works in the corporate world?

World business leaders use stories and metaphors as they speak to people. Notice how powerfully, yet subtly they use stories in their talks.

Most CEOs, business-heads, managers are also learning the fine art of storytelling as they realize and recognize it as one of the most important methods to connect and be a persuasive motivator.

In what ways can storytelling help leaders be more effective?

  • lead change

Testimonies

“Before attending this course, I was very interested to apply the tools to my work. During the course, the tools and concepts I would need, but there were some that were illogical to understand. After the course I was so convinced of the power of NLP concepts. The Storytelling tools taught were good to apply in work as well. The trainer doesn’t really need to get validation from the students whether he’s an expert in the field or not. He just needs to be confident that he is and show everyone else that he is too. While the tools can be applied, I think teaching NLP in a room full of analysts and left-brainers, you need more hard evidence and data to convince us on the concepts. Psychological theories are hard to understand for logical people like us.” – Fairuz Alia Jamaluddin, Senior Analyst.
 
“I was eager to learn before attending this course. I’m eager to try out the techniques of NLP I learned during this course. The training was excellent and so was the presenter. I especially liked the part about practical portfolios. It was fun.” – Radzifuddin Nordin, Executive Director.
