Visual writing in the post-powerpoint age - learn to turn your view of business communication upside down and ignite the storyteller within you.
From the time we gathered around fireplaces to recount the events of the day, we became storytellers. Our minds are wired to empathize through stories. History, art – and even science – are kept relevant by stories of men and women achieving incredible feats.
Yet, when we approach business communication, we ignore this basic human engagement insight. We present charts, facts, number, and slides full of stuff, not stories. This sticky seminar is designed to turn your view of business communication upside down and ignite the storyteller within you.
Juan Carlos Velten, serial entrepreneur and CEO of Innovation Lab Silicon Valley specializing in branding, will guide you through the art of “visual writing” – an approach to communication that moves your audiences and invites them to act. You will explore and work with some of the techniques screenwriters use for movies and how they can be applied to your next memo or presentation, making your company communication more authentic, vivid and captivating. You will get tips on how to apply some of the same simple principles that stories, movies, brands and people you love are using in order to tell powerful stories that bring you in.
Take-aways:
- Learn the art of visual writing and how to ignite the storyteller in you
- Work with techniques from screenwriting and get insight into how to apply these to your business communication.
- Learn to apply the same principles that stories, movies, and brands and people you love use in order to tell powerful, sticky stories.
