Power workshop: Storytelling and body language

It can write ONE for you, but rarely YOURS. AI helps organize material, suggest a narrative structure, and make texts more natural-sounding. But it doesn’t provide what makes a story believable: your experience, your perspective, your presence in the room. In the Power Workshop, you’ll use AI to prepare and practice with us what no machine can do: tell a story, make an impact, and persuade.

Good content alone is often not enough. What matters most is how you convey it. In this power workshop, you’ll learn how to turn information into understandable and memorable stories. You’ll explore why stories capture attention and how you can strategically use dramatic structure and emotion. At the same time, you’ll work on your physical presence. This will enable you not only to explain important messages objectively, but also to convey them in a way that makes it easier for others to understand, relate to, and remember them.

Professional competence and personal presence aren’t automatically perceived the same way by others. Your posture, facial expressions, body tension, and breathing can determine whether you come across as confident or tense. In this power workshop, you’ll take an in-depth look at how your body communicates and how you can consciously use it to your advantage. Through practical exercises and expert feedback, you’ll identify typical behavioral patterns and develop strategies to come across as more confident and present, even in challenging situations.

During a presentation or conversation, people don’t just take in your words. At the same time, they observe your posture, your facial expressions, and your overall presence. If your message and your demeanor don’t align, even a compelling statement can lose its impact. This power workshop will help you better understand these connections. You’ll learn to use your body language consciously and to align your message with your demeanor. This will enable you to communicate more credibly and clearly.

Storytelling works especially well when your story aligns with the situation, your message, and your personality. It’s not about inventing stories that are as dramatic as possible. Rather, it’s about illustrating connections and helping people understand the reasoning behind decisions or goals. In this intensive workshop, you’ll learn how to consciously use stories as a leadership tool while remaining authentic. This can help you provide direction and rally employees more effectively behind shared goals.

A professional demeanor doesn’t mean playing a fake role. You often come across as most convincing when your personality, body language, and message are in harmony. In this power workshop, you’ll therefore reflect on both your personal impact and your professional role. You’ll receive feedback and have the opportunity to try out different ways of presenting yourself in a practical setting. This will help you develop a better sense of how to come across as confident without having to pretend to be someone you’re not.
