Creative learning
As an experienced facilitator I love nothing more than observing participants having a light-bulb moment of clarity.
Nearly 20 years’ experience in education and learning and development has taught me that, even as adults, we learn best when we’re having fun and we’re at our most creative in our thinking when we access our inner child and are given permission to be playful with the subject and the material we are dealing with.
"To stimulate creativity one must develop childlike inclination for play"
"The most creative people have this childlike facility to play"
What is a Storytelling workshop?
Having worked with stories for the last ten years as an actor and writer, I recognise the power of storytelling in many areas of work and life. But don’t just take my word for it, there’s science behind it too. A great story involves emotion and when this is communicated, mirror neurons in the listener’s brain become active, a process known as ‘neural coupling’ that allows the listener to imagine themselves in the same situation. This encourages the listener to develop empathy and creates a human connection in a way that logic and facts never can.
Available as a full day workshop, this interactive and playful day is aimed at leaders who want to have greater impact through story telling. Whether you lead a small or a large team, present regularly, sell or pitch, being able to craft and tell a great story is one of your most influential resources. Why? Because stories communicate powerful messages! A great story can captivate emotions, simplify complex ideas, and foster empathy in your audience making it a great tool for communicating, connecting with people on a human level, influencing people effectively and articulating a vision.
