Storytelling for Business

Become an engaging storyteller

Do you need to come up with a great story idea for your video, organisation or pitch? Discover the power of storytelling that engages attention and invites empathy in this course covering the creative techniques that filmmakers use to connect with their audience on an emotional level.

This one-day course can be taken online with two half-day sessions delivered a week apart, or in-person at AFTRS. Both classes have a maximum of 10 participants.

The five key elements of a powerful story that will capture an audience

How a story can make a message stick in a compelling and memorable way

How to translate these techniques to deliver your own clear and irresistible call to action

“This is the most interesting, informative course I have ever done in my whole working life (which is a very long time!). Nick is an incredible trainer. It was a dream to learn so much from someone so creative, patient, and knowledgeable. The amount of tools and resources provided was fantastic, as were the different styles of writing presented in the videos. It was like a 360 degree walk around the writing process and left me wanting more!”

– Company Office Holder/Executive Assistant, Not-for-profit

“Made me think differently about the way I develop and present my content. Really opened my eyes to the importance of thinking about how the audience receives it and the way they digest it.”

– Marketing Co-ordinator, Environmental consultancy
