Seminar & workshop Programme for executives, entrepreneurs, leaders, influencers, educators & graduates
a).’Why Stories Matter…’ and b). ‘The Power of Story – and how to use it’ …A range of seminars, workshops, courses are currently being offered to individuals, executives/management and entrepreneurs whose first language is not English, but who need to speak, present and communicate more fluently and engagingly for business meetings, presentations and negotiations.
Using the art and science of Story and storytelling, I help people from all walks of life to lift their presentation and personal communication skills and instil a higher degree of confidence, connection, charisma and engagement in their social and professional lives… a mix of skills and attributes sadly lacking in many men and women – especially in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The generational legacy of Jantelagen has much to answer for!
All activities are therefore conducted in English.
I work with the power of story, myth, archetypes, metaphor, public speaking, role-play and impromptu speaking on stage and off. Games, fun, play, storytelling, drama, intuition and accessing the creative imagination also play a big part in all activities.
