Boring to Brilliant

Storytelling Mastery

Everybody's heard that communication is key, but did you know that storytelling is the ultimate tool for influence?

Following the successful event held by our Shanghai Team on May 18th, SwedCham Beijing has the pleasure to invite Larry Schuster again, the founder of The Storytelling Company, for offering a hybrid session towards our offline audience here in Beijing and online audience from other cities .

Larry applies over 20 years of US journalism to help speakers find, shape and deliver messages to move their world. On the 24th of June, he will share his insights to help you bring your storytelling to the next level.

The Art of Storytelling can be utilized for change and crisis management, corporate communication, marketing and branding - and that's only the beginning...

Some of the highlights will include:

• How do you create a basic story to overcome resistance?
• How do you create the right success story to share with potential partners?
• How do you talk about failure?
• How do you transform boring topics into talks that wow!

But stories alone won't turn your operation around - and that's why additional keys to successful communication are needed.

Join this session to also learn tips and tricks to give amazing talks, deliver speech during an industry conference, win likes through marketing and branding campaigns, and learn how to successfully conduct company meetings.
