Convince your management! Storytelling for process and project managers

In the training course, you will learn useful methods, background information and practices for planning, creating and staging a presentation.

You will learn how to break down complex issues into easy-to-understand messages for your target group, structure them into storylines and win over your target group with convincing arguments and emotions. You will also learn how to create presentations efficiently and easily.

You will be able to put your newly acquired knowledge directly into practice in your everyday work!

After the workshop-style training day, you will create your next presentation, which you would like to use to convince your stakeholders, as a real-life application.

In the following online check-in, you will have the opportunity to discuss your progress and experiences with the trainer and the other participants in a round-table format and take away new ideas for your own presentation.

As part of the final individual coaching session, you can "try out" your presentation in a protected one-to-one setting and receive direct feedback from your trainer.
