Leadership. Inspiring and enabling organisations to create and realise optimal value.

Great presenters don’t just lecture. They bring concepts to life using stories and anecdotes. Truly masterful presenters go one step further. They turn stories into teaching metaphors, so that every tale embeds a learning message. In this workshop, you’ll learn how stories promote deep learning and make YOU stand out as a star presenter. You’ll discover how to structure a teaching metaphor and build characters that will resonate with your students. By the end of the session, you will have a plot for transforming a piece of ‘dull’ content into a mesmerising story.
