The most important thing that you have to offer your audience, your client or your prospect is your story. Many business owners these days are telling stories, and that’s a good thing.  But too many stories fall flat, fail to connect or convert, and that’s not a good thing.  When an audience is connected and engaged in a captivating story, their emotions are activated and emotionally connected customers buy more of a company’s products and services with less price sensitivity. If you want a greater emotional connection that leads to more conversion, you want to learn how to tell a captivating story.  

Takeaways 

• Understand the power of a well-told story 
• Gain more clarity in your message or story
• Learn to structure your story for greater impact
• Apply 5 steps to captivate your audience

One of the most valuable skills in any business or walk of life is communication. We all learned how to talk, but few of us learned how to communicate so that all parties feel heard and understood.  Poor communication skills negatively impact our relationships, our businesses and our society inviting conflict, misunderstanding, stress and hostility. Learn how elevating your communications skills, whether in front of an audience of 1 or 1,000, can enhance relationships and increase revenue.

• Guidelines to better communication
• How to listen so that people can hear you 
• Understand what you say matters as much as how you say it
• Discover the easiest way to engage a listener.

We are all endowed with gifts, talents and abilities that are uniquely ours.  Unfortunately, we don’t always recognize our value or understand the positive impact we can make on our families, careers, businesses, and communities.  Stop resisting, ignoring and hiding your gifts.  Learn the mindset and the skills to embrace your inner light and be the STAR you were born to be.

Learn to: 

• Embrace your natural talents and unique gifts
• Understand how working on your strengths instead of your weaknesses can explode your impact 
• Find the freedom to explore your true capacity
