Persuasion research has known it for a long time. Neuroscientists have also proven it: the power of stories. Actually, every child knows that stories are more moving than pure facts. For more than 40,000 years, mankind has been telling each other stories and thus passing on its knowledge. An ancient form of communication is now being rediscovered by marketing professionals, communications experts and managers.

Petra Sammer, communications consultant and author of the bestseller "Storytelling," shows you the recipes for success and the neuralgic points, of good corporate and brand storytelling.

Don´t present, tell a story
You think storytelling is not for you? Because you don't like to tell stories and you don't have anything to tell? You are not alone in this opinion. Scientists, engineers, business economists, lawyers, project managers and top managers ... many struggle with this method, which offers so many advantages and is more necessary than ever to reach and inform people.
And it is not that difficult to learn. With the seminar "What's your Story?" you will familiarize yourself with the efficient impact mechanisms of storytelling and get an overview of the areas of application and possible uses that suit you: from Leadership Story to Knowledge Story to your very own signature story.
Practice storytelling and learn about narrative patterns and structures - from Hero's Journey to Sparkline. Develop the right story for your next presentation - and convince yourself that you can successfully incorporate the "art of storytelling" into your rhetorical repertoire.
