In order to get the maximum benefit from this program, an initial call will be scheduled so as you can tell me exactly what you or your team are looking to achieve with presentations and I can explain how storytelling can enhance this for you. All participants will complete a questionnaire so as the workshop can be tailored to meet specific needs. In this way, optimum learning will be achieved during the workshop. Prep forms and resources will be emailed along with Zoom login details, prior to the workshop.

TESTIMONIALS

I attended one of Karen's workshops on story telling and have read her excellent book, Discover your inner GPS. I found Karen's workshops to be fun, interactive and very engaging. You come away with lots of action points and structure that you can use immediately. I would highly recommend her workshops to anyone looking for pointers on presentations and story telling.

Sarah BlakeSustainability

This workshop was seamlessly run, filled with lots of great and practical tips and was very interactive - which I found really effective with regard to enforcing the many take-aways. She is an excellent coach with a huge bank of knowledge and experience. Through her enthusiasm, attention to detail and her clear and highly skilled communication style, she creates an atmosphere of fun and a forum that you will take a huge amount away from.

John MartinFinance

Story telling is a topic I'm very passionate about. I love learning about this topic so attended one of Karen's workshops after hearing her speak at one of my events. I loved the simplicity in which she taught the group how to construct a story to show it not tell it. Karen's book also helped me overcome a challenge I had for over 20 years. A lady of many talents with a warm friendly personality. I highly recommend Karen as a speaker and coach.

Amanda DelaneyBusiness Mentor

Karen is an excellent teacher. I participated in her Mastering the Pieces of Storytelling, in which she broke the components of a good story into a very understandable and usable format, which greatly improves a speech's flow and content. It's a very enjoyable class with easy and fun group participation.
