Course Overview

Storytelling is an age-old pastime enjoyed by everyone! Within the context of public speaking, effective storytelling is a powerful way to relay key messages memorably. This interactive discussion will focus on how a speaker can offer audiences prepared stories that engage listeners and ensure that they will remember messages long after the presentation has concluded.
