    Storytelling in Professional Communication
    WHETHER you are doing an oral presentation or a written report, the use of story telling will certainly spice up your content to make it friendlier and meaningful.

    INDEED, even for casual conversations in a social setting, story telling can create freshness and warmth as you interact with your listeners.

    THE challenge in the use of this fast-growing communication tool is that this technique need not be impromptu and unstructured. On the contrary, a well-planned story telling device, including anecdotes, jokes and one-liners, can form part of a larger, purposive narrative produced or articulated in a more formal and structured setting.

    Let DR SUNNY GOH, an expert communicator, delve into the world of story telling in this one-day workshop to help you build confidence – and content – in your verbal and written interactions.
    Objective
    At the end of the one-day workshop, participants will be able to:

    1. Understand the importance of storytelling as a powerful tool for communication, and recognize the potential benefits of using storytelling in professional contexts.

    2. Apply storytelling techniques to their professional work, such as presentations, proposals, reports, and conversations, in order to engage and connect with their audience, communicate complex ideas, and inspire action.

    3. Improve their social interactions in both official and casual settings by using storytelling as a means to build rapport, share experiences, and create meaningful connections with others.
