Physical Event

This event is aimed for business professionals interested in sharpening their communication and leadership through the power of story.

In this interactive workshop, participants explore how narrative thinking and storytelling techniques used by filmmakers can enhance communication, strategy work, and leadership. Through practical exercises and examples, we’ll discover how to build emotional connection through visuals and how to present complex ideas with impact and clarity. Are you looking for a job? These skills might help you stand out. Join us!

Stories make people listen — and remember. We’ll explore how filmmakers use narrative and visuals to move their audiences, and how you can do the same in your professional life. This helps you utilize narrative structures for everyday work situations, such as leading meetings and projects with a narrative focus, presenting data and reports with a clear story arc, and also shaping your own career narrative with confidence and creativity. Thinking like a storyteller can be useful, for example, for job seekers to find meaning and coherence in their professional path.

You’ll learn to:

• Apply narrative structures to your work
  
• Strengthen your message with visual and emotional storytelling
  
• See professional growth as a creative, evolving process.
